Oh Lisa...I hope you start feeling better soon!
This sounds like how I did back in August....my intestines had been "kinking"......this may be too much info, but I could belch a lot but would go through periods of not passing gas in the other direction, would be constipated, then after a couple of days, I'd have diarhea and LOTS of gas.
My stomach stayed sore and sounds like what you are experiencing.  I couldn't eat much at all.....I guess the food was getting backed up.

I went for an endoscopy and he found the kink and also found that I had an internal hernia.   I had surgery for it but healed quickly.
Now the only discomfort I am having is from my gall bladder and I hope to have that removed too!

I'd call and make an appt.

Let me know what he says!

I saw Holli yesterday and she is game.   :)  And I am hoping Jeri -Holli's mom- would come too.....I may even see if my mom wants to come over.

Let's set it for Saturday the 19th........I would do it the 12th but my mom is having a party that night and I will be in VA.....but hey....I am coming back that night too so if anyone wants to make a 1-day road trip......let me know!

So.....Saturday Dec. 19th at 5pm?!?!?!?!
Let's set a location a little closer to that date.
I am thinking dinner out or at my house, then I am going to check on schedule and prices for the Christmas Laser Light show at the Science Center at the college, and may treat you ladies to that afterwards if you are interested.

Everyone should have my new #'s.  If you need them, pm me!

Thanks Wendy, I had bypass will be 2 years in Feb. I have never felt this bad in my stomach area, my stomach is settled sore, it hurts when I get up or sit down, as long as I don't eat, I dont have the bad bloating, but belching way to much, and gas x strips helps a little, last night i was so sick, I drank about 3 sips of coke to help me belch because I couldn't I haven't drank soda in 3 years, so it tasted bad, but helped a little, I am calling my surgeons office if I am not a lot better tomorrow, and I am guess I won't be any better at all!! thanks for answering!!

Hey Lisa,

Do you have the band or the by pass? Back at the end of Sept I had the same thing happen and apparetly I had a hunk of something stuck. Went down and saw Dr. Sonnanstine he drained all the fluid out of my band and by the time we got back home(it's about an hour drive) I was able to eat soup(and then advance the diet over the next 2 days) and was as fine as can be.
I defenitely would not wait it out(my dumb ass waited almost a solid week). If you get super uncomfortable I would hit the ER in my opinion it's better to be safe than sorry( especially heaven forbid you have a bowel obstruction). I would rather get poked and prodded at the ER or the surgeon office than something awful happen and have to be cut open again.
But that's just my opinion

I am so sorry for your loss, and I would just tell you same thing the other girls have already told you, hope you get to feeling better soon,
