Abdominal pain after bypass

[silverswan54 0]

Hello Everyone,

I’m new here and could desperately use some advice.

I had Roux-en-y gastric bypass on June 3^rd and am having a bit of a hard time right now. I’m having some pretty significant discomfort in my upper abdomen and I’m unable to get and keep anything down including…well everything. I know there’s always the possibility of an ulcer but I have no idea what the symptoms are for this. Has anyone else had this type of problem?

I’m going to contact my doctor’s office tomorrow, on Monday, but have to admit to being a bit afraid of what this may mean.

I also think that since I can’t even keep liquids down that I may be a bit dehydrated.

Would be so appreciative of any advice anyone can give.

Thanks much

Go to the ER immediately to get fluids in you.

Call your surgeon now do not wait until tomorrow and I'm sure that that is what they will tell you to do.

Being in so much pain at this point is not good and not normal.

Please let us know what happens with you.

I second that. If you cannot keep stuff done for more than a few hours, it's time for lifesaving fluids. ((hugs))

Could be a stricture. I would call your doctor's office and see if you can reach an on call doctor covering the weekend. They should be able to advise you if it can wait until Monday or not. But you definitely don't want to get dehydrated. Hope you feel better!

The ER will contact the surgeon.
