Re: Clarification on the Stomach Spasm please

My RNY was lap and at about 18 months out I had an intestinal kink,

so you aren't safe with a lap surgery. My pains were also cramping,

labor type that began with eating and then progressed over time to

anything that I swallowed including my own spit! That's when I

finally broke down and called my surgeon. He went back in lap and

unkinked 'em and them sewed 'em down tight so hopefully they can't do

that again. I agree with Sue don't mess around with this type of

pain. I waited a couple of months and shouldn't have- could have

been a real disaster.

(Well, I'm guessing on the labor thing. I don't have kids.)

you? I'm a lap RNY. I thought that was supposed the lessen the risk

of adhesions...considerably?
