12 years out from RNY, open. Major issues....
I am 12 yrs. out from an open RNY and am having major abdominal pain after eating and I bloat as if I am pregnant. This has been going on for 13 weeks now and I have had every test under the sun and they have all come back normal or negitive.
I feel this is gastric bypass related and that I may need a revision or at least have someone go in and take a look.
I have lost weight not intentionally. Do not eat much due to the fact it hurts.
My bowels are very smelly and I have diarehaa often, many times a day.
I am tired, hungry, and at a lost as to what to do.
My vision has changed twice within 9 months.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Hello Carla,
My Gastric Bypass Dr. has retired and I am see Dr. Schram in Holland MI.
He has no idea where to go from here. I will be seeing his assistant next week.
I have also been going to a Gastro guy and I put a call into him today because I can't handle the pain.
I've had every test imaginable. Nothing is coming right out and saying "Hey! this is the problem" . I wiil keep plugging along. Next step will be U of M in Ann Arbor.
Went to ER for the severe abdominal pain I have been having.
Xray showed an ileus.
I was rehydrated told to go NPO and call my PCP in the A.M., which I did. I was told to stay on clear liquids and keep my appointment with the gastro guy next week. Mind you I am in horrible pain and still bloated.
I worry about an strangulation of the intestine.
Feel like I am not being listened to nor does the doctor care.
