having alot of trouble! please help
i had roux n y 14 months ago. i started having severe nausea and vommiting, malnutrition and severe left side pain. ihad a hernia repair on 6/1/06 and thought this would get me back on track. the pain is still present. i have had mris,cat scans, i have been referred to a pain specialist and no one can find the source of this pain. i have done everything to the letter since day one and my surgeon can not find the source of this pain. this pain is "inside" on the left,about the area of my bra strap i think it is around the pancreas area. i keep telling the doctors that its inside. does any one have any similar symptoms? i have been praying for answers since feb 2006 w/out any resolution. at one point i thought i just cant go on this way any longer. i am considering asking my surgeon if a reversal is possible.
Peggy,
I'm sorry I can't help you, I'm still pre-op, but I want you to know that at least someone read your post and is thinking about you. This message board isn't very active. Have you tried some of the others like Main or RNY? There are a host of other boards and most of them reach a much larger audience than this one.
Good luck!
Marilyn
Are you sure the pain is on your left side? Because if it were on your right side, I would say it is likely gallstones or other gallbladder disease. I had to have my gallbladder removed in 1997, an there's really no pain like it. Gallstones or slush may be diagnosed through ultrasound. Best of luck to you!
