Stomach pain 10 weeks post Gastric bypass



Recommended Posts

I had my MGB on July 15 , and recovery went well for a while , first 4 weeks were solid free weeks , i introduced solids slowly after

Steaks and burgers give me a very hard time so i stayed away from them. By hard time i mean stabbing and colic pain in my stomach right above the umbilicus and to the left

I am now getting the same severe colic pain on a daily basis despite being careful with the solids , only Soups , salads , and chicken , no meat

I also get severe pains if i stay a long time without eating , especially in the morning if i dont eat Breakfast right after waking up

I do take some gasix , and some gaviscon , it helps a bit but not much

I am not doing well on hydrating , some days are good some arent

Any idea if this pain is normal first few months post surgery ? Anything in particular should i take or do , thank you very much in advance for your thoughts

You need to either go to the ER or call your surgeon right now. This could potentially be serious--especially if you are not able to hydrate any longer.

Quit eating salads right now. Eat easy foods, soft, well-cooked. If you eat anything at all. Don't eat til talking to doc.

      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
