internal hernia,and adhesions

Hey all, it seems no one posts any more. I had a lap done last thursday the 19th. It was pretty simple compared to the by-pass. I had gained back some weight, but have been on liquids since thursday and have taken some back off.Tthe doc also did a scope and said my stoma is a little large. I guess that's why I feel hungry so soon after I eat. I just thought I was a failure as usual!! I will just have to be hungry I guess, and watch much closer. I hope all is well with everyone!!

Wow that's weird, I dont know why my post showed up like that. No pic with my name. ODD!!

Hi, Were you having pain? I am wondering if I have adhesions. I am 29 but had gallbladder and liver tumor prior to my GB. Lot's of activity in the gut even before GB. I have been having miserable muscle "pull pains especially under right rib cage for almost a year now. Have had every test known to man endoscopy, colonoscopy,gi studies, ct's, mri's etc. The one thing I do have is a 5mm gasto-gastric fistula, but I hear this "should" not be causing the pain. Periods are brutal every month (am on the pill due to rupturing ovarian cysts last Feb.) and it doesn't help. I am wondering if it is worth having a lap done to look around for endometriosis, adhesions, etc. It wasn't bad? Really? Thanks. Jaime form CT

Are hernias common after surgery? I just found out that I have one under my belly button. I am having surgery on it in just a few weeks. I didn't know if this was a common problem, but I have been having intense pain in my stomach for weeks. I had similar pain in the fall, but I had also started drinking sodas and when I stopped drinking soda, I got better. I am a little worried about the hernia. I really don't know how or why I got one.
