Hi all. I had a sleeve five years ago. Lost 110, have kept all but 5-10 pounds off. Surgery was fine and dandy. No issues until July 2020 i have had IBS for as long as I can remember and it got worse this past summer (anxiety issues). So I was taking Imodium a bit more often. I was active as heck this summer riding horses and paddle boarding. Eating fine (yes my stomach has stretched but nothing too crazy). One day after paddle boarding a decent amount, I was having bad gas pain. I suddenly got the worst pain I think I’ve experienced in my life right near one of my incisions. It literally felt like my gut had ripped. I waited a bit before deciding to go to the ER, but I was being woken up by residual pain. I had taken a gas x pill because right after that, I had this feeling like I needed to burp... They did a CT, no leak or obstruction. They diagnosed me with gastritis and moved on 🤷🏻‍♀️. I was in decent pain for quite a few days after, even on omeprazole. Since then the pain and tightness has not gone away. I feel like I cannot lay on my back with my legs out. It feels like I’ll rip inside. the most curious thing is there is a BALL of something in my stomach area now. A GI nurse said she thinks it’s scar tissue. Said I didn’t need to see a doctor. Nothing came up on an endoscopy. I’m writing because I’m once again having very loose stools, and gassy (burpy feeling included, but I can’t burp???), and quite a bit of pain there. I’m wondering if anyone has had something like this and if it was something that could be fixed? I’m going insane. Thanks all. ETA: with the burping feeling comes a lot of nausea as well.

Interesting. Thank you both for your input!!

Hi all! I'm in the process of thinking about getting a sleeve done. I've done a good deal of research, but haven't found the answer to my most important question! I ride horses so I'm outside in the sun during the summer. Where I live summer is usually 85-95 and sometimes hotter with humidity at 20-40% for the most part. When I lived in Arizona I got heat stroke very easily when riding outside. And now that I've moved somewhere cooker I still get it. If you're wondering my heat stroke is throwing up, dizziness, light headedness, gut issues, and exhaustion. So, have any of you experienced heat stroke getting Worse after the surgery? Do you get it easier? Thanks!!
