I am in need of help desperatly! I had
gastric bypass feb. 03 and have had
nothing but problems since. I need advice
and a good 2nd opinion doctor that will
listen and try to help me. I have severe
(l) upper quadrant pain and spasms x 2yrs
now and for the past month I have had pain
in the (r) upper quadrant that is like a
serious burning ache. I have been through
8 egd's, 1 colonoscopy, numerous ct scans,
xrays, upper gi's, blood work. Nothing
shows up. I am becoming very discouraged.
I continuously become dehydrated and I
cannot quit losing weight. I am now at
117lbs (from 270) I need help, I live in
severe pain every day and my doctor has
said there is nothing else he can do.
Since my gp sx, I have had my gallbladder
removed, hernia repair, adhesions removed,
and a blocked intestine. Please help!!!
I am from huntsville al. And had sx in
birmingham, all sx's by the same surgeon.

You need to seek out another doctor and
get a second opinon. Gastric bypass
surgery can cause health problems, many
you mentioned you've had, so you know how
important it is.
Have you had a second opinion?

I have had a second opinion also in
birmingham. The doctor ended up being a
"friend" of my surgeon and sent me a
letter after reviewing my records stating
he would not do anything different. My
surgeon released me saying there is
nothing else he can do, so now I am on my
own dealing with the pain. It's very
depressing for not only me, but my 3
children and husband who watch me suffer.

pain with gastric bypass Posted: 04-28-08 15:34pm
I have been nauseated, vomiting, having
some form of indigestion, repeated
respiratory infections, yeast infections
in my mouth, throat, and vaginal area,
repeated UTIs-you name it, I've had it.
Not to mention the 8 days I was in the
hospital due to dehydration and those
awful first 3 months. I have not seen my
surgeon in over a year because he was so
hateful because I had not lost as much
weight as he felt I should have. I've
been through the colonoscopies and EGDs.I
am desperate for some help from someone.
I am so tired of being in pain.
