Three Years Post Op

I can't believe it's actually been three years now since I went to Spain and had my Duodenal Switch. My weight has fluctuated a bit but not drastically. My lowest weight was 125 and I now am at 137 and holding. For the most part there are no complications. The only big difference mostly is that there is more intestinal bloating than before. I have found that Devrom and Beano do help a lot with the problem. Thank you Dr. Baltasar for giving me the best years of my life! Maryann B Kansas City area

Maryann, Please watch out for this. I am 39 months post op, and had this same problem back in October. I used to pop gas-x like candy. Well, I had 2 emergency bowel obstruction surgeries back than. The second one almost cost me my life. So be very careful of this. Sandy

I had a softball sized mass removed from my colon 2 years ago. Man, was that painful! I still get nervous when my tummy feels out of sorts. Do you have trouble keeping regular? Sorry about the gross question, but who better to ask than another gastric bypass patient. Jill
