Problem 15 yrs out

I had rny in 2005. Revised to gastric sleeve in 2008. Lately, every time I cough or bend over for any length of time I feel like my intestines are twisting. Every time this happens , the next day my stomach feels badly bruised. Any suggestions as to what might be wrong? Has anyone had similar problems. I am in my 70's....maybe just old age????

I don't have an answer, but I also struggle with something similar. I am 15 yrs post-op. After about 10 yrs, anytime I bent down, for any reason.. my stomach(s) would seize and spasm. Still happens, noone knows why.

Funny, in that mine would do the same shortly after my DS (also 15 years ago ). However, mine only happened the first few years out and then gradually disappeared. It must have something to do with the weight loss shifting things around inside the abdominal cavity, I would think .. Have either one of you had a recent "spurt" of weight loss? Since it is happening now after quite some time out you should have it checked out, as possibly it could be an indication of some kind of internal herniation. ?

Hi! No.. I haven't had any spurts of losing weight.. I recently reset my pouch & have adapted to a low-carb/high protein change due to some weight gain. And also no insurance right now, so I am unable to getting it checked out.

I've been having the same problems lately off and on which led me to consult the dr who took over my weight loss dr's practice. I've had an upper gi and endoscopy and found out that my pouch was way stretched out. I don't know if that was causing my discomfort or not but I'm getting revision surgery soon. And I'm 63 yo btw.
