Too many post-ops are getting twisted or herniated intestines, months

and years after their WLS. That is a serious, life-threatening

matter. Some people say that CAT scans won't pick it up and that

exploratory surgery is the only way to find out for sure. Others

have written that a CAT scan with contrast can pick up a bowel

obstruction/twist/hernia (which can be internal). Many times, the

problem can resolve itself (the bowel can slip back into position).

I surely do not know the answers. But, if the pain is that bad,

please see someone about it.

Best,

Steve

Thanks Steve,,,,,,

I do not have this problem,,,,but I have a friend and fellow travel of some

years now who does and will probably not read this. She had a

proximal,,,,then was revised to a distal cause she had a horizontal pouch

that cannot be touched due to blood flow compromise,,,,,,yet,,,,she

still,,,,a year later is suffering awful bowel pain,,,,hot baths only

resolve, and she is doing two or three a day,,,,,,,

Your thoughts may make a difference in someone's life,,,,,,,I certainly

intend to pass then along. I also noted,,,,,,the number of foks with bowel

slithering,,,,,

Hi.............

I had my gastricbypass Nov 20, 2001 and i've experienced pain to but mine is

at the top of my incision. The pain starts for no reason, and i lay on the

bed and roll around and moan and groan, it's terrible. Usually lasts like a

5 minutes, but the last time it happended it let up and then the pain

started again right away.

Not sure what's going on. Then my insides ache. Its a weird feeling.

Tracey,

I am sure glad that I don't feel your pain. It must be demoralizing

for you. From what you write, I wonder if you had been checked for a

hiatal hernia (a defect in the diaphragm where the esophagus pass

through it) or even gall stones (which can crop up from rapid weight

loss and usually present as pain in the upper right quadrant).

I'm just feeding you questions to ask of a qualified medical practitioner)
