What Have I Done? Please Help!

I am 2 1/2 weeks post op RNY. Last week started with really bad back pain and gas. No matter what I did I could not get relief. Started having trouble getting water down. Saw surgeon and had EGD yesterday. Had stricture but not where he thought it would be. Today better but tried to drink coffee this am and terrible gas pains again. what have I done to myself? Am I going to have to live the rest of my life like this or does it get better? Really need some support right now really regretting having this surgery, would have just have soon stayed fat. Please help!

Have you noticed if you just have pain and gas when you drink hot liquid? I have known of people having problems with hot and cold.

Hopefully it is caffeine free coffee. I was told no caffeine at all, I do drink regular coffee now but I am over 3 years post op.

If you have problems with all liquids I would get back with the surgeon. You can do with out food but you must be able to stay hydrated. Hope you get it straightened out.

I'm with panhead on this one.

It did get better for me . It took me about a month and a half to finally feel some comfort. We did have major surgry on our insides. I have not had any problems with being able to not drink anything.

Hope you feel better soon.

Keep us updated !
