C Difficilw and chronic pain :'(



Recommended Posts

Hi Everybody,

I had a revision from a sleeve to bypass along with a hiatal hernia repair on January 13, 2014 in Montreal. I had C Difficile 3 times between November 3, 2013 until January 12, 2014 (before the surgery) and it has recurred twice since the surgery between January 13, 2014 and today (February 11, 2014). The cost of each treatment is roughly $1300. Now since the surgery, the pain hasn't subsided yet. It has migrated though... Where it use to be solely on the area of my belly button. Now it has moved to my right side just under my ribcage and resonates around to my back.

The pain is awful, and the diarrhea is constant. I am at my wits end with all of this and really want to get up and go out, but I can't. Basically, I'm just about completely bed ridden or toilet ridden. Right now, I take 5 hot baths a day, I have a hot water bottle that I sleep with on my tummy and a pillow between my knees.

Please somebody tell me what else I can do.

Apart from adding in Probiotics to replenish your good gut bacteria i'm not sure what else to suggest to you.

You say your pain is predominantly on the right hand side. Is there a possibility that it's your gall bladder? Your symptoms sure sound like it could be.

Hope you feel better soon.

      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?
