Abdominal Pain

[missesshepherd 0]

I'm new to this group. This is my first post. I had my VSG done end of October last year and have lost a ton of weight. I started at 244 with the 2 week pre-op diet and I am now at 189. My problem is I've been having abdominal pain and diarrhea. The abdominal pain can be as bad a labor pains at times and can make me almost pass out. I'm not sure if this is the result of what I'm eating (or not eating since I feel like I'm not able to eat as much as I was a couple months ago, Protein that is), or is it something else? I was at the ER a few weeks ago and they did a CT scan which said intestinal wall thickening, so they put me on Flagyl antibiotic. I'm a nurse so I know this is not normal. Any ideas on what might be going on?

Possibly galls stones. Have you been checked for those?

I'm sorry you're experiencing pain, if it is gallstones I can relate. The pain is brutal.

Congratulations on your success so far!

Nope. Had my gallbladder removed in 2011. Thank you for the encouragement though.

I had your symptoms and I had (& have again) c-diff. I was on IV antibiotics after surgery for a bacterial infection on one of my incisions. If you weren't on antibiotics after surgery you probly don't have c-diff. Might be worth checking if you were though.
