      Thank you.. her eating isn't that bad -aside for the sever dumping she has every time- .. her intake is good the problem is that she is not absorbing and she has too much diarrhea .. I'm freaking out

    I'm sorry she's having this difficulty. Does she have trouble eating enough protein, or is it that she can't absorb it?

    What your Mom is experiencing isn't common. However, other complications happen fairly regularly that require revisions. So she's not alone in having to have a second procedure.

    I think virtually every revision I've heard of has gone wonderfully, and the patient is much happier with the result. We'll keep our fingers crossed that the same will be the case for your Mom.

    Try not to freak out. Surgeons handle these types of things all the time, and that's the important thing, right?
