Complications Almost 5 Months Post Op



Recommended Posts

i had my surgery about 5 months ago and i've lost a lot of weight. i had very few complications at first but at 3 months out i had severe abdominal pain and spent a few days in the hospital. then again at 4 months, same terrible pain in mid right abdomen and spent another few nights in the hospital. gall bladder is normal. i had a swallow test and all it showed was that my stomach wasn't passing the food through fast enough. my surgeon said that was no big deal at all. now at 5 months i had the worst few days of vomiting everything that went in, even Water wouldn't stay down. also had bad Constipation followed by days of diarrhea. there is no pain now, however. this last episode lasted about a week and thankfully stopped completely yesterday. i've had an endoscopy which showed some inflammation in the stomach but doctor doesn't know why. it's just strange that these attacks are spread almost exactly a month apart. i'm keeping my fingers crossed for 6 months out!!!!

Just a thought: are you keeping a food journal? Maybe it's something you are eating that your body is reacting to?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
