7 Months Out And Oh It Hurts!

[Khy 16]

I am 7 months out from surgery. Had a textbook recovery.. no vomiting, just a little pain at first, able to keep most anything down. Now all of a sudden 1 1/2 hours after I eat... all h#ll breaks loose in my stomach. It hurts so bad I kind of double over. It lasts about 3 hours then I am fine. I had a small bowel series yesterday (barium thy name thick and horrid) and the good news is they didn't find anything wrong. The bad news is... they didn't find anything wrong... So on it continues... I have not really changed my diet or exercise habits. Still waiting for the Dr. to figure out what is wrong.

Gallbladder?

Nope not gall bladder. I parted ways with my gall bladder long before I parted ways with most of my stomach.

I had some similar things occuring to me a couple of weeks back (about 5 months out). I narrowed it down to the Vitamins and pills I was taking, even tho I had been taking them for months before, all of a sudden whenever I had them I would double over in pains and cramps.

Have you tried narrowing it down to food, tablets or specific scenarios?

Did the doctor check for an ulcer?

This sounds just awful I hope that your doctor can help you in finding a solution. It could possibly be gas. Like maybe you have IBS or gastritis. I know I have both and they can cause some serious pain.

Well right now they are treating it symptomatically with pepsid. Dr. said give it a month and if it continues I an headed for an endoscopy. It does seem better since I have been taling the pepsid on a regular basis.

I was gonna ask if he did an endoscopy. When I had symptoms JUST like you're describing (this was 2 years ago, long before I ever considered VSG) the first thing they did was an endoscopy. I went through the WHOLE G.I. testing series and they found NADA!! Well, the only thing he saw was a hiatal hernia and he insisted that it was not the cause of my pain, although i later decided that maybe it was because of the location, but that's another story...

The one thing that helped me was this candida diet: www.yeastinfectionadvisor.com

As soon as I started eating this way, the pain stopped. And it solved a few other digestive disorders I had. Just a suggestion. If it doesn't help, it certainly doesn't hurt. It's a very good, clean diet, and you don't have to do it forever. I did it for maybe 5 months.
