1 year post op and odd gut pains



Recommended Posts

So off and on I have extreme pain in gut, in the center below the breasts bone. I am ok when I am sitting or laying down. When I stand or move I have a sharp pain. I was having diarrhea off and on, which i got from a trip to mexico, at least that’s what I thought. Have you had something similar? what was it? anything I can do, I can’t get to doctor for a while.

the pain doesn’t feel like a stomach pain it feels like in my intestines, pepto will give you an ulcer and it doesn’t feel like heart burn or gas, i bet it is a hernia, is there anything I can do I am having a hard time working on my feet

Glad you finally got things straightened out! The fact they all live in the same area is no real excuse for faulty diagnostic skills!

So so true, one of my apps says "Your gut knows things your Brain has not yet comprehended" Your body has a wisdom if you but listen . Look at me , I fought with my Bariatric clinic, they kept telling me I had pist- operat8ve swelling and I was expecting too much too soon. I was right, my body knew, I had a bad stricture in my RNY pouch, ulcers there and I'm my jejunem. I had l8ved in this body for many years, I knew innately something was very wrong.
Stay well, stay healthy and have a Wonderful Day!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
