I would live to hear and know what symptoms you had to know to go to or call the doctor!! I have read other sites of this happening and just know it is serious and glad you got it fixed in time

Well this is how it went!!

Thursday during the day I was perfect no pain no nothing just a normal day! Went to my friends after dinner about 6 pm had scrambled eggs and sausage nothing out of the normal to eat for me!! Hung out an was suppose to stay the night well about midnight I got what felt like a stomach cramp an knew I better get home incase I throw up.. So I came home an went to sleep! I woke up about 2 in more pain than I went to sleep with! Figured maybe it was gas! Went back to sleep by 330 am I woke up again tried walking to my bathroom and I was so dizzy an could barely walk due to the pain... My sister woke up and got my mom an I told her to take me to the er now! So we went!! Thank god! I got there at 415 am they really weren't taking me seriously til I said I had RNY then they ordered a ct scan and it shows that my pouch and small intestine from what they thought were just swollen and irritated!! So the er dr called my surgeon and they halo flighted me to my dr and I went into emergency surgery to see what was wrong exactly, turns out my small intestine some how got a hugeeee hernia and was twisted and actually had sucked itself in to the intestine itself it was just a hugeeee knot! Needless to say they had to laparoscopicly undo the knot!! I am now back home finally got home about 11 pm Saturday I have been in an unexplainable amount of pain since Friday at 3am the harder part to the whole thing was the dr telling me and my mom that we r racing against the clock! As the clock was counting the minutes to death... I was within minutes of dying... To the point that I called my brothers, sister, friends, aunts, uncles everyone to tell them good bye and to always remember me... Just take everything that deals with ur pouch and pain extremely seriously!!!

My prayers to your healing...may I ask how far out you are from your surgery I am a little over 2 years

Oh my what an ordeal. I sure hope everything is better now!! Did they say what could have caused it? When did you have your gastric bypass?

Good Grief!! I am so glad you got there in time to be repaired. What a terrifying experience!! Please take good care of yourself and keep us updated.

I am sooo sorry to hear that. I had a twisted intestine three day out from surgery. The staple grab the other side and flipped it close. NOTHING stayed down. I'd cough and water would come up. Ugh. Hope you feel better soon!!!

That said nothing I did could have caused it all they said was it was the surgery.. I am about to be 5 months out next week!

Yes! So happy to hear I am not the only one. I had surgery on the 15th and had emergency surgery 2 days later due to a kink in my small intestine preventing anything from going down. This was found during my swallow study. I have another swallow study tomorrow to see if I'm ok. I was throwing up, burping and so so sick. Gow are you now

For right now I am good just really sore when they opened me up this time they put the incisions on top my old scar tissue :/ so the wound itself is super painful!! But I finally get to go back to work Monday I'm so excited! Hope things get better for you!
