Complications Almost 5 Months Post Op

i had my surgery about 5 months ago and i've lost a lot of weight. i had very few complications at first but at 3 months out i had severe abdominal pain and spent a few days in the hospital. then again at 4 months, same terrible pain in mid right abdomen and spent another few nights in the hospital. gall bladder is normal. i had a swallow test and all it showed was that my stomach wasn't passing the food through fast enough. my surgeon said that was no big deal at all. now at 5 months i had the worst few days of vomiting everything that went in, even water wouldn't stay down. also had bad constipation followed by days of diarrhea. there is no pain now, however. this last episode lasted about a week and thankfully stopped completely yesterday. i've had an endoscopy which showed some inflammation in the stomach but doctor doesn't know why. it's just strange that these attacks are spread almost exactly a month apart. i'm keeping my fingers crossed for 6 months out!!!!
