Gastric By-pass Promblems Or Not????? Posted: 09-22-05 08:07am
I had a gastric by-pass july 2003 and i've
only lost 77 pounds. Prior to the surgery
I was healthy. Now I have so many issues
with mentrual cycles, dumping, stomach
pains. How can you tell is these are
related to the gastric by- pass or
something new? For the last three days I
have been having nothing but fluid leave
my body. One day I spotted blood and for
the last 2 days I have had a very bad case
of diarrha and it's been every color but
this morning it was shocking because it
was a pale yellow. On top of that my
stomach gurgles and rumbles. I know your
saying well go to the docter. (no
insurance right now) can anyone help?

Hi Posted: 10-19-05 00:11am
I had gastric bypass surgery in august 05.
I am doing fine, thanks to god but I am
having problems with my intestines. Now I
have had a pain the right side of the
abdomen in just one place. It's a 3 to 5
pain (on a scale from 1 to 10).
In september 05 I was admitted to the
hospital because I had excruciating pain
on the left side of my abdomen. I had to
have a morphine pump to take care of the
pain. The doctor thought it was
diverticulosis or a kidney stone. I had
numerous tests and nothing was found
(again).
I had a colonoscopy in january 05 and they
found nothing (again). Before this
surgery, I took the usual tests and they
said that there was a chance that I have
h-pylori. I will be going to a
gastroenterologist to do some tests. I
don't know where you live but can you get
medicaid or medi-cal? You can go to the
doctor because there are alot of places
that you can see a doctor and they will
not charge you. Please keep me posted
please...You need to go to the doctor and
don't procrastinate please....
Love,

I had bypass surgery in 2003 I have lost
101 lbs. I'm still fat at a weight of
250lbs. I have had five hernia repairs
since the procedure. Recently I have
started to experienced a lot of medical
issues with my intestines. I have just
recently had a colonoscopy. The results-
siegmoidtitus and proctitus. (excuse the
spelling) what ever that is. I have
experinced blood in my stool and severe
pain every time I have a bm.
I'm 37 yrs old and I feel like i'm 90 at
times. I had very good health before the
procedure other than obesity. It's
difficult for me to have a normal
relationship with my minor children and
husband. I'm always cranky or tired.
It's putting a strain on my marriage. My
husband is very understanding. The
doctors are very willing to give me lots
of pain meds which I don't feel is helping
the problem. No one has given me a
concrete diagnosis, other than to tell me
that my stomach is caused by adhesions.
Any thoughts?????
