Post-op Complications

Hey guys, I had a RNY surgery on 9-9-03. I just got out of the hospital because I had a small bowel obstruction. The surgeon said it was a complication of my gastric bypass surgery. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I had not lost any weight for 6 months and now since surgery I have already lost 10 pounds.

Sorry Amy, I didn't have any major complications. Marie

Hi Amy I had a small bowel obstruction about 1 yr after my RNY. RNY 9/22/03 bowel surgery 9/09/04 It is one of the complications of any abdominal surgery. I did lose weight before and after the surgery though.

Amy, I had a bowel obstruction that had to be operated on 8/7/05 because of scar tissue from my surgery, but since I had the bowel obstruction I have heard of so many women who have had them after surgery for a hysterectomy. I myself was also on a plateau of about 6-8 months fluctuating between 234-239. Then when I got out of the hospital I lost 10 pounds --- but sadly as I have gone back to work I have also gone back to some of my bad eating habits and have put that 10 pounds back on -- yuck! I hope you are doing well after the obstruction -- Kim
