Ladies only! after Bowel obstruction surgery



Recommended Posts

I am a few days off to being one month postop with the RNY gastric bypass. Had Bowel obstruction surgery and hernia repair surgery 2 weeks ago. Has anyone heard of their vagina smelling horribly wrong (like poop) after bowel obstruction surgery? I never had any weird odors down there before.

No, but I did have a very weird smell after the catheter for a while. I had the obstruction corrected in an emergency surgery about 3 months post op. You may definitely want to ask your GYN. It's probably just a small infection you need an antibiotic for. Even non serious vaginal infections can smell like your rotting or something! Lol but, it's easily taken care of, just don't let it linger. Good luck!

I'm very recent I haven't noted any order but I sent u a personal message with my info dates and stuff. But I'm one week out and luckily they noticed it on day 3 I was supposed to be discharged the day before and elected for one more night as I had a hernia repair as well and that night the pain started and they figured it out

I'll follow up with you guys I have a follow up on Friday

      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?
