Abdominal & Chest Pain
MsLadyKanKan replied to MsLadyKanKan's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Well, let me say once again that I do no come on this site very much. I am more of a youtuber. But let me give an update. I had my endoscopy done and everything look great. The dr did not see anything that could cause me harm down the road in the future. Looks like there is nothing as a result of my surgery its just my body needs adjustment. My stomach looked great and it did not look like i had a bile leak. I could have another ct scan or do laproscopic surgery to look around if the pain persist. I can also just give it time. I will say that I am 80% better but i still have slight discomfort. I will give it time but if at some point its not gone i will do further testing. I am happy that a revision to RNY is not the recommendation at this time. I continue to pray for continued healing. -
I Am Starting To Regret My Vsg......
MsLadyKanKan replied to MsLadyKanKan's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Girl wow..u really went thru. I have been trying to get this address since 1 week out of surgery. Because I did not have my surgery hear. It took me forever to get a bariatric surgeon. I had a CT scan back in December but they didnt find anything. I am having an EGD done on Feb 17th. The bariatric doctor thinks I am having some type of bile reflux problem that is causing irritation to my sthomach and intestines but I dont but that. I do feel like something is leaking when eat. WOrst case senario is that if its bile relux i would have revision to RNY surgery. I am so tired and sick of being tired. I just want them to find out whats wrong and fix it. I am on yourtube under MsLadyKanKan I will be posting updates there. Thanks so much for ur story. I am so glad that they found out ur problem and ur getting well. -

Abdominal & Chest Pain
MsLadyKanKan replied to MsLadyKanKan's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Yes I am still in pain and it is not going away. Ok so I finally had my appointment with a wonderful bariatric surgeon in the Baltimore area. He suspects that I am having bile reflux which could cause irritation to the stomach and intestines. He doesnt think i had a bad surgery. I am not convinced yet. I am scheduled to have a EGD done on Feb 17th. Worst case scenario is that I would have to have a revision to gastric bypass if it is bile reflux gastritis. I am scared, dissapointed and angry. I did this to better my health and now I am not so healthy. This is not at all what I expect.Follow me on YOUTUBE under MsLadyKanKan for the most recent updates. -

well...all I can say is that I was treated with such a high level of professionalism. I have recently seen a bariatric surgeon who does not think that it has anything to due with a botched surgery. He thinks that it is possible that I am having sum type of bile reflux issues. I am having an EGD done on the Feb 17th. I am still thinking there is something else such as "leak". I am not sure. All I no is that I started having this pain 1 week after surgery. I am tired frustrated and hating this damn sleeve right now. I just want to no whats going on and hopefully it can be fixed. These doctors are human not God and errors can be made. If it is not surgery related and it is bile reflux I will have to have a revision surgery to RNY. So I am praying for the best. But u can follow me on YOUTUBE. I recorded my journey from day one.....I think u will enjoy and it gives u a great account of how it is in Mexico. Look under MsLadyKanKan. Hope this helps. -

Abdominal & Chest Pain
MsLadyKanKan replied to MsLadyKanKan's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
No it's still there.....I did have 3 days when it was gone and then it came back. Because I had surgery out of the country fInding a bariatric doctor locally is tough. When ur not one of there patients ur not priority. So it took 4weels to get an appointment. Thankfully the day is coming jan 30th I'll b going to get checked out. Every test known to man I will b asking for. I don't come on VST much. But if u want to follow me I do my updates on YouTube under msladykankan... -

6wks Post Op And Still Have Pain...wth?
MsLadyKanKan posted a topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
U no what I'm just gonna put it out there. After doing made research and deciding to have my surgery with Dr Aceves he seemed like the best choice. Everybody had wonderful things to say and no complaints. I figured he wa the best. Well I must say surgery was I eventful, things went well, I was treated kindly and the experience was great. But I be dammed if I wasn't a week out and I started having left abdominal pain and chest pain. Thought it had resolved and now 6wks out its still here 24/7. I can eat and drink but this damn pain is no joke. I've had blood work, CT scan, md exam and they don't see nothing. All I no is that I did not have this discomfort before surgery. I'm frustrated and annoyed. I no there is something going on. If I'm still healing when and the hell will I b healed? When and the hell will this pain go? As y'all can tell I'm frustrated and needed to vent . I'm not saying this a complication due to my surgery.....IJS that not all of us walk away from surgery with DR Aceves without having some issues. I'm just one of the real people who will talk about it. Just cause u may go to a reputable known surgeon doesn't mean it will be a walk in the park. Don't no how mcg more ill be coming on VST...but if u want to follow my updates check me out on You Tube MsLadyKanKan. -
Ok so I thought I was past this point. I had just reported on my YouTube channel that my upper left abdominal pain was almost gone. Now 4 days later it's back but more so in my chest(sternum) area r smack in the l side near my heart. I am so sick of this. 6 wks out and I thought all this was behind me. After a CT scan with contrast and pcp examine nothing was discovered. I am convinced there is something going on n my body. Well guess now its time to see a bariatric surgeon. Since I had my surgery in Mexico I can't go see that surgeon...ughhh! Thankfully I can't eat, drink and move about. I just can't stand not knowing what the hell this feeling is or what it is. I figured by now I b all healed up. Lordy give me strength...

MsLadyKanKan replied to MsLadyKanKan's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I appreciate all of your comments and well wishes. I am just hoping it gets better. I'd rather no what's wrong if I feel a certain way, then to feel a certain way and they can't find anything. I either want this pain to stop or find out what's wrong so it can be fixed. Thanks guys for the support. -
