I had the sleeve on8/15/17, I was hospitalized in October for pancreatitis, gastroenteritis, colitis, malnutrition and dehydration. I was in there for 17 days. Got out on 11/1 and i have been off work ever since. Thanksgiving weekend i started hurting only to find out that i had 4 kidney stones, 2 in each kidney. So more surgery and dehydration. Two weeks later another kidney stone surgery. Never have i ever been able to eat and my food feel like it goes all the way to my stomach pouch. I’ve been passing out and can’t eat more than 3 tiny bites of anything! Barium swallow test shows significant hiatal hernia. So more surgery ahead. My problem is....I’m nauseated all the time. Bariatric surgeon cut me off and sent me to my general physician to deal with this aftermath. But of course he still wants me to come in and weigh for his records. My general physician is who is trying to figure out what is wrong with me and she is the one who ordered the swallow test. She said this is the reason my food gets stuck. It’s sitting at the base of my hemidiaphram and it’s causing GERD all the way to my clavicular bone which i have to take a Prevacid solutab every single day because the GERD is so bad. Saw my Bariatric dr this past week and my general dr had consulted him about the hernia and he sat there and told me i didn’t have a hernia. I am losing weight every day and i feel so terrible. I am weak. I can’t even take a shower without almost passing out. I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing any of these problems. I’m so malnourished that she sent me for an mri of my brain because of the passing out and now I’m told i have 3 hazy spots of white matter and demyelination so now i have to see a neuro dr. I feel like I’m falling apart. My kids are worried and my family is worried and i feel like i need to be hospitalized but i don’t really know what they could do for me at this point. Please help! Any advice is appreciated. I’m waiting on second opinion on the hernia. Thanks!

I’ve had 2 EGD’s. Last one was in late October and they said there’s no obstruction.

I’m all the way in Mississippi! UAB is the closest good place to go i guess

Thank u. You are absolutely right! I am hoping for a second opinion soon. The only problem is that where i live, all the drs know each other and consult with each other and i feel like I’m never gonna get the attention i need to fix the problem. I will end up going out of state I’m sure which is not something i wanted to do but i will if i have to. This has been awful.
