Metabolism going to fast?



Recommended Posts

So i had my bypass dec 4 2014 the next day I woke up throwing up blood bc the surgeon didn't close me up on the inside. So I had to have emergency surgery to correct. Then 2 weeks later I had my gallbladder taken out. When he did that he cut my intestines and bile got out. I went septic after a week. Had 2 abdominal adhesions. Had draining tubes in for 3 weeks.

Now I'm 18 months out and having server abdominal pains if I go a few hours with out eating. Is that normal and I have a really hard time eatting actual food.

If I were you I would go see a new surgeon ASAP, the very very best place in your region (where other doctors send their problem cases). And I would call a lawyer.

But how does your situation relate to your post title of "Metabolism going too fast?"

So you feel like your food is moving through you much too quickly and causing that pain?

It really sounds like you had a lot of poor treatment....can you find a new surgeon to work with? And get a copy of all your medical records from the first surgery to a lawyer? I mean.....the surgeon didn't close you up internally properly after WLS, then later he nicked your intestines causing more problems? That's not ok that lightning struck twice with you and the same surgeon.....you might not be the only one this has happened to

Iv tried to find another surgeon but no one will take me. And I refuse to go back to him. I'll do more research and see if maybe in a neighboring city. But yes it's like foods moving to quickly and if I don't eat within 2 hours the center of my abdomen feels like how it did after surgery

      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!
