Hi there. Ok 2 months out from RNY. I have followed every rule to a t. I'm down 49.5 :) pounds. Up until 2 days ago I would say textbook and going great. All the sudden 2-3 days ago I started having pain in my tummy. Constant contracted pain. It's a dull pain not to bad unless I try to eat. Everything I eat bothers my tummy. I can drink milk ok and Water but that's it.

Any thoughts? My first issue I don't want to over react. Thought someone here could maybe help.

Call your surgeon. Could be a lot of things, but better be safe than sorry.

check with your surgeon. Could be a stricture. I had two of them. Easy fix.

a stricture is just overgrown scar tissue. Sometimes it ends up blocking the entrance to the small intestine, so you have some pain when you eat and/or you have a hard time keeping food down. It's an easy fix - they just do an upper endoscopy and stretch it out a bit so the food can go through again. They're a fairly common problem with RNY - my surgeon's office said up to 8% of RNY patients get them. They almost always occur within the first three months after surgery, though. I had one week 4 and another week 8. Haven't had one since (I'm 18 months out now)

Are you taking any kind of acid reducer, like a proton pump inhibitor (protonix, omeprazole, etc)? I went off mine briefly about 5 weeks ago (only for about 3 days) started getting some tummy pain kind of like what you describe, and a couple days after I resumed that med, it went away.

I am on omeprazole. They suspect a stricture. We will see in the am.

Could also be an internal hernia, I had bad pain, contracting, 5 months out and that is what my surgeon suspects is the cause.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
