3 years post op. HELP! Experiencing bad pains
long_journey posted a topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Hi there. Long story short. In the last 10 years I've had a lapband, sleeve and 3 years ago bypass. Two months ago, 5 month post birth, I had a massive right side pain. Couldn't move and ended up in emergency. The pain has not gone away. I've experienced the worse pains in my life radiating all over my body, I'm dizzy, bad nausea, confusion, pins and needles and numbness in my legs and lips, crippling pelvic pain, stabbing pains all over my abdomen, bad stitches in both sides, blurry vision, burning lower abdomen, lower back pain, right and left tip shoulder pain, chest pain, sore ribs, bruising all over my body, im exhausted, I fall asleep while driving and I even have (sorry tmi) green vaginal discharge. I've been living on pain killers just to make it through the day. Ive been living in constant pain for a long two months. I've had almost every test under the sun. My bloods are all normal (except a little low in iron). No gallstones detected. I've had an abdominal ultrasound, ct scan of my spine, abdominal MRI, pelvic exam, pelvic ultrasound sound - internal and external, a papsmear, vaginal swabs, in and out of emergency 6 times, bloods tests 7 times,urine tests and I'm losing weight super fast and not in a good way. Nothing has been detected what so ever. Everything comes back perfectly fine, I've only had a low grade fever. I had a endoscopy 5 months ago for reflux and all was fine so they won't perform another. My surgeon has been away but he is now sending me for a abdominal CT scan tomorrow and another gallbladder ultrasound. I've had a few doctors tell me it's all in my head or it's gallstones then constipation,then sti, nerve damage, then a pelvic infection, then ulcers, then spinal problems, then problems from pregnancy but it appears I am perfectly healthy and it's none of these things! I seriously can not handle this anymore... please has anyone ever experienced this from a bypass that can't seem to be detected? It's made me absolutely miserable. I see my surgeon on the 5th for my results. Until then any advice is appreciated!!! Sent from my Pixel 3 using BariatricPal mobile app -

Thanks so much guys for the well wishes X I forgot to mention due to all of my operations I cant actually vomit anymore but the last few days I've been waking up choking on bile. I'm never hungry anymore and can't eat much at all. My hair is falling out in chunks from the roots more then ever. The main pain started on my right side and progressed under my right rib to my breast bone. I was very tender and swollen but they couldn't find anything. Then as days progressed the pain moved to the left side and then my pelvis. I've been given three courses of strong antibiotics and anti inflammatory medications. There have been days when I never thought I was going to wake up I was in so much pain. I'm a single mum of three and some days I struggle to even dress my baby. All I can do is take one day at a time and hope someone might have an answer for me. I'm 31 years old. I'll keep you guys informed if it's anything bypass related as most doctors seem to point that way now. I wouldn't wish this on my worse enemy. Sent from my Pixel 3 using BariatricPal mobile app
