Topic: SEVERE PAIN AND BURNING IN THE ABDOMEN
I am having severe abdominal pain. I had lap RNY on sept. 24, 2007. It all started last Thursday. It lasted for a few hours. Then it happended fri, and sat. On Sunday night it woke me up from my sleep. It has been constant ever since Sunday night. I feel a terrible burning sensation in my stomach right under the breast in the middle. It is tender to the touch and very bloated. I feel nauseaus and very miserable. The burning sensation is the worse. I don't have my gall bladder and when I went to the er on Tuesday night they did a ct scan with contrast and found that everything looked okay except for the fact that my small bowel looked a little enlarged. I can't eat or drink anything. I have no appetite and when I do eat the pain becomes worse. All of my blood work came back normal. I don't know what to do!!!! Has anyone else experience these symptoms. I feel like someone has been kicking me in the stomach!!
MY GI DR. TOLD ME TO TAKE PRILOSEC OTC 40 MG DAILY AND THAT HASN'T WORKED.

I eat JackLinks - Buffalo or Regular Jerky. You normally can find it at Wal-marts or Chevron Stations.

Hey Lisa...you are doing very well. And although painful...I know that your surgery was well worth it! Keep up the fantastic work!

Hi everyone! I am down 133 pounds and currently weight 152, only 2 pounds from goal!!! I originally was a 24/26 but now wear a size 10 pants and a size medium top. My bra size has gone from a 46DD to a 36D, still hanging on (and I use the term "hanging" literally!!) to a D!! I feel wonderful!!
Now for the bad:
On June 3, I had an exploratory laparoscopy to repair 2 internal hernias and remove some adhesions! That was not fun, but the episodes of pain I had from the hernias was worse! Also, I am having a slight problem with my pre-albumin level. (The prealbumin test is used to help your doctor diagnose problems with your nutrition. Prealbumin most often is used to help doctors diagnose protein-calorie malnutrition.) I eat 90% protein, so cannot figure out the problem. The doctor has encouraged me to have one protein shake (here we go again!!) a day for the next month and then will repeat the bloodwork. He is hoping that I will absorb more protein if it is in a liquid form.
That being said, I would have this surgery again in a New York second!! It is the best thing I have ever done! I haven't felt so great in a very long time!
Hugs to all,
Lisa

Can you believe we are almost a year out!!??!!
I hear you on the not loosing as we did before. I hoped on the scale yesterday and I was 193...which mean 5lbs in the last month.... but I'll take that because thank God I haven't gained anything! As a matter of fact...if I keep at this pace (although I strive for more) I'll be just 8lbs under my goal by the time this year anniversary roles around!
But enough about me, you're doing great!
