I am back in the hospital . Yesterday afternoon I had a couple sips of a protein shake and was struck by a 45 minute episode of the most horrendous pain from the middle of my chest down about halfway to my belly button radiating to my back ribs. I had a shorter episode last night here in the hospital after they made me drink 500 mls for a ct scan. I am waiting on my surgeon to come in with a plan on figuring out what is wrong... I don't k ow hat it could be and I am hoping its not a leak or anything to do with my loop:(

thinking of you amd keeping you in my prayers x

Saying prayers for you!!

Have they checked for gallstones yet? That radiating pain after eating with pain thru to the back is a classic sign of a gallblader attack. So painful! It happened to me so I know!!

I had my gallbladder removed in '06 but the pain is similar to gallbladder attacks but just way more intense They are you going to do another swallow study in the morning.....

I pray, healing over you. In Jesus name.

The docs came in today and said that if my swallow study doesn't show a problem that it may be a sign the my earlier issue with my sleeve being a long "J" shape may be the culprit. They think it may be twisting on itself when I eat or drink. If this is the case a revision surgery to a bypass will be necessary. Please continue to pray for me as I appreciate it and I will keep you updated - Kali

Praying with fingers crossed that everything works for you.

I'm sorry for what you are going through. Praying for you. Keep us posted.

Tests,tests and more test but still nothing definitive:(

Praying for you hun...what is the Loop??

In Jesus name. God will heal you. Just have faith. Its done.

Praying for you hun...what is the Loop??

I have a sleeve that loops at the bottom like a letter "J" and my sleeve is also long and thin the doctor is afraid it may be twisting when I eat or drink and causing my pain. There has been no conclusive tests yet though. They are going to do a scope tomorrow.I posted about my loop in another thread on my surgery day which was November 7th.

Prayers to you

Good luck to you. Keep us posted.

I am praying for you
