Ok so i thought i was alone when it came to complication after by pass!! i had surgery in 2006 and you normally leave the hospital 3-5 days aftereards but i was so sick, i stayed 2 weeks. i couldnt eat, drink, or walk! when i finally left i had lost 36 lb.s in 13 dsys! the first 2 yrs. were the worst. first the freind that motivated me to have the surgery died 3yrs. after hers from complications. i went to a support group but i was the only one that was a mess! i have been hospitalized for dehydration, malnutrition, low magnesium and blood sugar (42), spinal meningitas, MRSA and anemia. i continue to be suffering with chronic pain and had 2 surgeries last yrar on my hand for calcifyed fibroma which kept me out of work. i thought when i had the surgery i was going to have more energy and be able to keep up with my 10 yr. old? im 47yrs old and i feel like im 67yrs......i dont eat for days at a time and i dont drink Water. i feel like i am deteriarating daily and im ready to give up some days. this was the biggest mistake of my life!!! i wish it was reversable. i may have lost a ton of weight and look dam good on the outside but i am so so sick inside?

I am so sorry that you are having such troubles. I have no words or advise to offer you. I am sure you have gone for other medical opinions to try and seek out relief for all of your issues. If not keep seeking and I am hopeful you will find some relief. I am a success story but have genuine empathy for those who have medical issues after bypass. Good luck and maybe someone here who has gone thru what you are going thru will be able to point you in a direction you have yet to try.

We're fighting complications too. My question is how long can my fiance continue when the pain progressively gets worse?! It feels hopeless when there's no solution. It has affected our family and day-to-day life. The worst part is seeing him suffer and knowing there is nothing I can do.
