Frustrated!!!!

So the weight loss surgeon that did my revision doesn't think all my stomach pain, burning and nausea is caused by something related to gastric bypass. Granted, the endoscopy, ct with contrast and upper gi with small bowel follow through were all "normal". But since the pain is caused immediately after eating, one would THINK this has something to do with our WLS anatomy?? I'm so frustrated. He said I should get a 2nd opinion from a gastroeneterologist. I've been in pain since the end of January and now this will set me back at least 3 more weeks until I can get an appointment. I'm not even sure I can see the doctor - usually they make you see the nurse practitioner, at least my other gastro doctor did. I'm back to eating only soft foods - at least I'll lose weight, but this isn't the way to do it.

Well for Pete's sake. Gastro doc said he thinks I have a hernia and to call the surgeon back. ARGH! He said it's only fixed by surgery. Round and round and round and round...

Please spay and neuter your pets!
