Another update. I’ve been put on domperidone meds which is to help push food through the stomach ( in my case) they are helping but the pain is still there especially after food, I also keep having really bad indigestion too which takes ages to settle. I can’t lay flat anymore and have to stay on my right side, roll on the 2nd opinion x

Hi. I’m still active but not sure how to get back on this site unless I’m sent a message. I’m still having issues and under a new consultant, so more tests are needed

Sorry it’s taking me a king time for updates. I’m struggling with this site. Another update. The meds they gave me gave me really bad side effects. The doc described it as Parkinson’s symptoms, I was a mess, I’m now on dorperidome which is helping a little bit but not taking the pain away , Just moving the food quicker out of the stomach, ive also got a brown/yellow tongue which is like sandpaper and a croaky voice, no matter what I do it didn’t go away, it’s vile. I have also seen a psychologist who said it was all in my head and had to learn to live with the pain or control it, I’m so mad, no one wants this type of pain. Roll on next week when I see my surgeon, this is not normal ?x

A few changes for you too see. Starting weight 17 st 9 Currently 9 st 10

Hi, I’ve looked everywhere I was hoping some one else may have experienced what I’m going through. I’ve had 2 lots of surgery now basically my surgeon said I’ve had 2 rny , I was unique the first time round now this , my story continues lol. But it’s not a nice experience to have constant pain and I’m not one that anything pushes me down but this has done , I wouldn’t want my worst enemy to have the pain. Thanks for trying x

Hi thanks for replying , im back to see the surgeon in April I def want answers , really feel fed up, thankyou for Dr google lol , Ive read that this isn’t that common and can be mistaken for acid , I guess I will be an expert by the end if it all lol.

Hi all, im new to this site but open to suggestions , So my story is , i had a gastric bypass in April 2017, weight loss great, all my medical conditions settled , but i had pain in the insides of the left rib area from quite early on, i couldn't get to the pain by touch, i had the camera and CT scans , i was later informed i had ulcers in the new pouch, i was relieved to find out i did have something wrong and this pain would go away , so in 2018 i had a bypass revision to have the ulcers removed , my new pouch had lengthened (stretched due to acide reflux) , so i had further surgery to shorten this and the ulcers were taken out. Further complications arose, as they removed the ulcers they caught my bowel , more surgery was needed and i lost 5 pints of blood, recovering from the surgery , 5 months later I'm still in excruciating pain on the left side, pain killers don't help at all, and my GP said it was my 'Back' i knew this wasn't what was wrong with me and i felt i had no support or getting anywhere with my condition. The hospital were also at a loss what was happening with me, and tried to diagnose me as depressed, the only depression i had was pain and not been believed. i took it upon myself to do my own research and i have came up with Bile reflux, not acid, the GP listened to me and agreed to try me on some medication, as i wa passed myslef by this time, after 5 days of been on the medication , at last i'm getting some relief ,i cant explain the pain i have been in, i thought i was going insane at one point as all the tests were negative, scans all clear , pain that i couldn't get too, yet it had me drinking bottles of strong pain relief to literally put me in bed . My question is ? has anyone else had this complaint of BILE REFLUX and if so what was the outcome as i understand the medication can only be take short term?
