Hello,

* As per my surgical experience, the issue of variceal healing is time taking and certain precautions must be followed
- strict control of diet as to avoid particular bony type stuffs in non-veg food, aerated drinks, spices, garlic and other irritants
- avoidance of smoking, alcohol if consuming
- control of blood sugar, cholesterol, body weight
- avoid excess shouting or retching
- regular intake of ulcer healing drugs as per the prescription of your consultant
- PT INR control with the scheduled follow up of the surgeon
* Consult your doc immediately in case of any minor issue.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
