HELP PLEASE FROM THE UK

Please Help!

Can any one help me out there, I had my bypass Aug. 2014 and had 2 set backs, both from the Aug. Every time I stood up I collapsed or went very dizzy, this took the hospital till Dec. before they fond that my legs just had stop holding blood when I stood up, now I am on a tablet for life to allow me to stand up. Now the second problem also from Aug, I have been complaining about Diarrhoea and this has just got worse, at the start the doctors said it was my body readjusting after being plumbed, but now it is getting worse, there is no infection showing on a staging test but after the breath test they have found a large Bacterial Overgrowth in my new small stomach and my small intestine. I have small amount of control now but very little via. tablets, awaiting a new set of specialists.

I would still have had the op as I have lost over 51/2 stone so far but I am, apart from doctor/hospital apartments I am very worried about going out, has anyone else had or could offer any help.

Just in case anyone is looking at this and thinking about going for the op. this set of side effect I have been told, at my hospital, Salford Royal (Hope) around Manchester, HAVE NEVER BEEN SEEN LIKE THIS TOGETHER OR THIS BAD BEFORE. SO PLEASE STILL HAVE THE OP.

I just am looking for any support out there please.

I feel so bad for you but admire your determination and your good outlook. I haven't had my surgery yet so I can't really help. {{{hugs}}}

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
