Digestive Problems after Gastric Bypass



Recommended Posts

Gentlemen:

I had RNY Gastric Bypass operation on 3/30/14

Since then I've lost over 100 pounds, It fixed my diabetes, sleep Apnea and lack of mobility

On the down side, and 3 months after the operation, I have a series of recurring symptoms

Pain in the colon, Lack of apetite, Bloated Stomach, gurgling stomach,

feeling sick after eating, Repulsion against food. food makes me nauseous

No blood in the stools, Regular bowel movements, No fever

These symptoms appeared with regularity every 2 to 3 months

Usually they will go away after taking laxatives, Miralax and Colace

I’ve been sent to the hospital in two occasions and the following procedures were performed on me

Colon Decompression

Scan CT, Colonoscopy, Upper GI Series, A small polyp was found and removed.

A biopsy was performed in the polyp as well as in another part of the colon.

Nothing was found and Drs could not figure out what I had

However, the last occurrence of these symptoms started on 06/30/2015

And this time around there is no pain, everything else being the same

And the laxatives are not working.

What is worrisome is my lack of appetite and repulsion towards food

Problem still pending, my latest doctor says, there is no cure for this condition

and is a complication of Bariatic Bypass

Please Help, If anyone out there could shed some light in this problem

Maybe I missed something-- what is the condition?? I saw you list symptoms and procedures done-- but not a specific diagnosis

      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?
