Must Read-Babysitter-Liquid going into old stomach and not Pouch

[Guest guest]

Good mornings. When I stopped to pick up my boys yesterday

afternoon, my babysitter informed me that she went to the doctor

after the kids were off to school. She had been having a pain for

six days in her belly but could no longer take it. She had open RYN

and had a hernia and a tumor removed at the time of her gastric

bypass. When she went to the doctor, they did a CAT Scan. She had

to drink this barium liquid and then they did the scan. The doctor

called last night to inform her that the liquid went into her old

stomach and not the pouch and that she should come in today so they

could discuss options. She had her surgery in mid October of 2005.

She has lost 173 pounds as of yesterday.

The doctor was concerned that her weight loss was too much too fast

but her labs were off the chart (perfect). Before this, she had no

problems. She could not take any type of medicine except for extra

strength tylenol so that is all she had post surgery (she has very

high pain tolerence).

I will let you know what they say the reasoning is behind this. That

is so strange that stuff is going into her old stomach. I wonder how

that could be. She had surgery at Airforce Base and not at

Kaiser as her husband is military.

Once I hear something from her today, I will let you know. She

probably has some type of tear or something. I thought this was

worth reading. Has anyone else known anyone else who had this to

happen to them. Thanks in advance for your comments.
