MY surgery was 2-26-14. I felt like everything was going great till I started puréed food. I got bad stomach pains and called the doc. He said I must not be ready for puréed and to go back to liquids. The pain finally went away after two hours. Thursday I got severe pains and was throwing up. It was in the evening so I got an on call doctor who said give it an hour and see how you feel, that was about 6 pm. At 2am I went to the hospital in my town cause I couldn't stop throwing up, and my stomach was empty so that made it worse. After a cats an they found out I had a hernia and rushed me by ambulance to the next big town to have emergency surgery. My doctor came in and popped the hernia back in. He said he hated to do surgery so soon cause I'm still swollen. Today I noticed my belly is swollen and hard again, no pain but whose to say it won't hit at anytime. Has anyone else gotten a hernia after surgery? I had the RNY. I'm just so scared to go through another surgery and also not being able to eat anything but liquids.

I had my surgery in 2006 and it was about a year after my surgery I had emergency surgery for a hernia. I've heard it's fairly commen but im able to eat regular food now and havent had an issue since. I hope that lessens your worry about being able to eat normal food again. Good luck

      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?
