Hi all,

I am three years out of bypass surgery (2016). March of 2017 I had emergency surgery for an internal hernia and removal of scar tissue that caused a blockage, October 2018, emergency surgery for resection of small intestines and November 2018 another emergency surgery for a complete blockage. Anybody else have these kind of issues. Is it related to the bypass. My surgeon says no, my husband thinks differently. Thanks.

I was supposed to have gastric bypass March 27th. When my surgeon got in there I had a lot of scar tissue from a previous surgery and he said had he done the surgery I would have been at high risk for the rest of my life for bowel obstruction because where they would have reattached the intestines were in a bad place in comparison to taking down that scar tissue. I came out of surgery so disappointed but glad he didn’t risk it. So I know that is a complication but in my case was from a previous surgery

The day after my gastric bypass I had to go back to the ER due to SEVERE pain. After hours in the ER with signs of shock I was transferred to another hospital and had emergency surgery due to an intestinal blockage secondary to intestinal adhesions from a previous surgery I had YEARS ago. I'm just glad my surgeon saved my life because I almost lost it that day. Another blockage or adhesion can happen at any time because I've had previous abdominal surgeries, the GB had nothing to do with the blockage.

Sounding Scary-Larry but I am glad they found it and rectified it so quickly. Yes Thank God for your surgeon, he saw what needed done and did it!
The possibility of you blocking, I pray that never happens, let's agree to have a smooth peaceful life, okay?
