8 years post op RNY - having gastric problems.

Does anyone know of a gastroenterologist that specializes in bariatric surgery issues? I live in Northeast Ohio, between Akron and Cleveland. I have been having problems with stomach pain after I eat (a twisting pain) regardless of what I eat. Its getting to the point that I am afraid to eat anything. I have had problems in the past where the doctors were aware of my surgery and never persued the possibility that might be the reason. I had a hernia surgery and gallbladder removed on 2/14/08. I would appreciate any advice or suggestions. Thanks

Hi, you must live near me - I'm in Twinsburg.  Dr. Schauer at the Cleveland Clinic is a gastroenterologist and bariatric surgeon.  He really is the best.  I would recommend him to anyone.  Hope you get some answers soon.

Take care

Thanks Cindy,
I happened upon Dr Schauer through a search of the nearby hospitals.  I hear he may be difficult to get into see, but I think it would be great. It sounds like he is what I am looking for. I just hope it isn't a problem that I had my surgery done somewhere else.
Thanks again,
Becky

Becky,  Yes, he can be hard to get in to see.  And once your there you could get right in or if he's running behind it could be hours.  But he is the guy people with problems go to.  He just operated on my 650lb friend who sailed through the surgery with no problems at all. 

His office number is 216-444-4794.  It's worth a phone call.

Good luck,
Cindy
