Guest guest Posted November 29, 2002 Report Share Posted November 29, 2002 Good afternoon, to in NJ: I'm almost 2 years out (lap RNY 12/13/00). At almost exactly one year out I started having these pains after eating (no matter what I ate). It eventually got worse and after about 4 trips to the ER my doctor sceduled another surgery to find out what was going on (also after may tests). I suffered from December 22 until my surgery in March. I was out of work from January 7 (I didn't mind as I hated that job). Anyway it wond up being very serious-my intestines twisted. They would almost twist back and forth for the pain wasn't after every meal. In any event, I don't want to scare you and this probably isn't your problem, but again I never really dump and this is what happened to me. I think I read that you were going to see your doctor-that's good please do that. I went to my gastro too (my surgeon is in NY and 2 hours away so I waited a few weeks of tests down here before I went to see him). Anyway, they tested me for blockages after every " episode " too. Again, I don't want to scare you-I just want to make sure you go get checked out. And p.s. I'm way fine now. Good luck- hope you feel better and if feel free to email (anyone that is) about anything. Take care all-now I go off to shop! -C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, the pain doesn't come very often and, in fact, hasn't happened in a few months , so I'll wait & see. Thanks for the heads up, though. in NJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
