Pouch problems any one?

[MelindaBaltimore29 1]

I been having pouch cramps on and off since September of last year I'm 1 year and 3 months out and before this I never had any problems when it starts it fells like you can't breath and some one stabbing you in the chest also your back I was wanting to see if any one else is dealing with this matter as well. I have lost all my weight I'm a size 2 or 0 so it's not that I'm eating to much or the stuff I'm eating this can week you up or you can be just watching tv when this happens. Gi dr did egd nothing and also my bi pass dr as well any I'm on bental at night can't take it during the day it makes me so tired also a med for when it happens I put in my mouth at this point I'm well to try anything please help

Again this sounds like a kink in ur lower bowel..which is really hard 2 detect...it takes exploratory surgery 2 detect it..someone I love just had this done..and that gudness she would not leave the Dr office until they helped her..It was my daughter!..just saying..it sounds the same..seems its commom in Gastric people..now We know

By any chance did she have prob going to bathroom to? I have to take magnesia as well to go to the bathroom I never have urge to go at all

Melinda..do you have a unbelievable stabbing pain when you eat anything?

No, she couldn't move her bowels they were kinked..like a kink in a garden hose. At the kink, it ruptured so she had two surgeries at once..horrible, after surgery she stayed in the hospital for a week, and couldn't leave till she passed gas and had a bowel movement...how it was explained to us, is that when the intestine twist like that, its extremely painful when you even take a little bite of fruit. In her case, a piece of pineapple chunk. When they opened her up( a vertical stomach incision) her instestine sort of 'played dead'..possumed if you will..so we had to wait for them to wake up also before going home..arrrrhhh what a nightmare!!!..so I you have symtoms of extreme pain with no bowel movement, don't let them send you away, she didn't, and that goodness. I didn't want her to be a WLS statistic, if you know what I mean!!..this took place the week before Christmas. She's back to normal, and back to work..but hoooooh what a scare..we had no idea that could happen..THATS SOOOO NOT IN HAND BOOK!!!!!

Are you sure it's pouch and not gall bladder? My friend had similar symptoms (she is non bariatric) and it was her gall bladder. Sometimes gall bladder pain is mistaken for other things.

good point!!..yup..go get checked woman..better to get a proper diagnosis..deal with it and move on.

I had small bowel obstruction with a hernia. According to a few doctors I see, it's not too uncommon. The pain is awful. I was very constipated. I was so bad the day I finally got to the hospital that I was delirious. There is no definitive test-- the surgeon said it's only definitive after exploratory surgery. I was lucky-- my bowel pinked right up. I was in hospital for 5 days. Btw-- bypass was 2/28/13 and hernia surgery was 8/30/13.

But before trying to get pregnant I was about

140 then I put all my weight on with fertility and then had a lot of problems with metabolic problems after and finally I'm happy back to my original size

Thanks for answering, I hope all is well with you when you go to the doctor. I'm afraid of losing to much weight, I'm 8 months post RNY and down, 86 lbs., a few more lbs and I'm at my goal weight, I started out at 230.
