Branmuffin 190 Posted February 15, 2014 My friend had a twisted intestine that fell into the "gap" where they removed part of her intestines. She had bypass. She's been having pain and bathroom issues as well and finally couldn't take it anymore and went to ER. They flew her right away to a specialty hospital in OK to go straight into surgery. They said if she had waited 2 more hours she would have died. She worked that morning as if nothing was wrong too btw. Listen to your body and don't take chances. Don't let the dr send you away if you feel like something is wrong. Ask for another dr. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

m&m4ever 109 Posted February 21, 2014 If you feel like something is wrong, don't stop telling the doctors. We know our bodies best. My friend had the same issues and they told her the only thing left to do was exploratory surgery. She so to do it and they found a twisted colon! This sounds like your only option at this point. Again, you are in my prayers and I wish you the best. Keep us posted! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
