Anyone else have this issue?

I'm just over 2 1/2 years out from my RNY. Have been having issues lately. Have been to the ER three times over the last 2 weeks with intense pain in my stomach, vomiting, sweating etc.. The first time - they did x-rays and said I was FOS (full of stool) - and that my XRay wasn't completely normal - but she thought it was due to constipation- which is weird because I was not constipated at all.

Second time it was worse - was vomiting - went to the ER and sat there for about 3 1/2 hrs - without seeing anyone - and I left as the pain had gone away on it's own.

Then on Wednesday of this week - had the worst experience. Pain was so intense I was vomiting up bile. Had to drive myself to the ER (1/2 hr drive) and was sweating and felt like I was going to pass out.

Saw a good Doctor this time. They did X-Rays again and she said my XRay was definitely not normal and that my blood work and urine had abnormalities. She is thinking that I am having partial blockages of my small intestine possibly due to scar tissue.

I have an ultra-sound on Monday morning - and then will probably have to have a scope depending on what that shows.

Kinda scared about the whole thing - been afraid to eat anything hard or dense since this all started. Anybody else have this experience?

It definitely sounds like a blockage to me.  Last year, my mom had one and they admitted her and she was only allowed liquids until they were sure the partial blockage was gone.  Be extra vigilant like you have been and get back to ER right away if you don't feel well.

That sounds a little frightening, Donna.  Please keep us posted.  Wishing you the very best diagnosis and recovery.

Had RNY surgery July 22/11, St. Joe's Hamilton, with the awesome Dr. Scott Gmora.  Had abdominoplasty August 2/13, Scarborough, with equally awesome Dr. Michael Kreidstein.
