I am 19 days out from my revision to VSG from Lapband. I ha e had 2 episodes of dumping that I now know was dumping both times from eating too much potato soup too fast. One of them was last night. I have learned my lesson and will never do that again! My problem is today I woke up feeling kind of crappy. I had about 3 sips of water and later about 2 bits of some cream of wheat and I started feeling miserable. Lots of pressure in my gut and lower abdomen, in my back. I decided to check the forums to see if anyone else has had this problem. It got so bad I had to take a Vicodin. Then I got to thinking maybe its because I didn't have anything in my stomach and it was cramping up. So I read back thru my post op bible for food ideas. I put together a small plate with 2tbs spinach from a can, 2tbsp beets from a can and about 2tbsp moist tuna with 1/2tbsp ffmayo. I ate this very slow so I would not overeat. I felt much better for about an hour. Then as I was sitting in my recliner on my laptop, the pressure, extreme bloated feeling returned and my back started hurting so bad I was bawling. I do have back issues but not like this and not for awhile. I had really bad pains like in my back ribcage area. I went to lay down and all I could do was cry. Can't get comfortable. Lots of pressure in my abdomen and my back. I took 2 more Vicodin, its been about 5 hours since my last one. I have been off my pain killers except at night to sleep. Wtf???? Has anyone else had anything like this? What could it be? I don't want to go to Dr unless completely necessary because we are military and it is a total fiasco. pleased help. I can't stop crying I'm so afraid it could be a leak. I don't have a fever or shoulder pain, so I'm praying its something that is simple and will pass. It doesn't feel like gas. Ugh!

There's not much else to say, I think. I'm six months out and I'm down almost 100 lbs. they took my gallbladder out and that's about when I started having issues, I had it out around sept 7th or so. I forgot to mention the days I missed the nexium I had started taking probiotics, so that may have helped. If you think of any questions for me, feel free to ask.

Oops and we are at Travis AFB in California.

Well I am at the doctor's been here all day. They are admitting me for pancreatitis and a blood clot that formed in my abdomen. Now we are trying to figure out how I got pancreatitis as I don't drink, my cholesterol has always been really good and my gall bladder is fine. At least now i know what was causing so much pain. It got really bad last night. I vomited all night long. I will post more when I can. Wish me luck!
