Twisted Intestines



Recommended Posts

Hey, I'm 13 months post op. I've reached goal.

I'm feeling like maybe my insides are twisted. Had my gallbladder removed in Jan. pain moves around. Not to thrilled to call the Dr. Any ideas?

Oh my....well, I don't really like calling doctors either, but I'd do that before I'd take an online diagnosis from a sleeve website based on such a non specific symptom.

I hope you find an answer, but if it's bothering you I'd involve a doctor.

I thought I had a twisted intestine a few months ago...of course I googled and web-m.deed things myself. The pain I had was extremely intense while I was on vacation and it took almost 3 weeks to work itself out. There isn't much you can do if it is twisted or kinked up. My blog has more details of the pain and how long it lasted.

So, what leads a person to think of all things that a twisted intestine is the problem? I don't know about this in humans, but in animals it is nothing to fool with as it can caused damage/death of the tissue and require surgery etc.

For me it was the placement of pain...lower abdomen and the lack of other things...like I didn't have a fever etc.

I think I would call my doctor if it was me. Pain correlates with problem in body. Plus you will feel better with a medical professional opinion.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
