It has been quite some time since I have been on here.  I am almost a 3-year post op gastric bypass and have done somewhat decent in my journey.  However, over the past 18 months, I found out that I had dysmotility which basically means that my pouch does not digest food and now I am having to take a medication to assist in this process.  And, I have had a Hernia,  Ulcer and Esophogeal Spasms whi*****luded hospitalization twice.  I have had my ups and downs with this and understand it happens to about 1% of the gastric bypass population and lucky me.  So, now I am going through a lull (I guess you could say) which I do about every 3-4 months and not able to eat or keep anything down.  For the past 3 weeks, I have only been able to keep down crackers and water.  I know, you are wondering why I haven't been to the doctor yet.  Here it is ... my surgeon is constantly asking me to have an EGD and after 11 in 26 months, I don't want to do it anymore because they find nothing new.  So, now I go to just my Gastroenterologist.  Unfortunately, he has some personal surgery and is out for 2 months, so I will have to start over with a new physician on my history and everything.  Be assured, I do have an appointment on Friday with a new physician.

My question is ... has anyone else ever experienced anything like this?  what has been the solution to this?  Any shared experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Hey girlie,
I'm so sorry that you're still having so much trouble. I hope your new doc helps you.
It was good to see you at SBUX the other day!
