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?

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
