leak after two years of gastric bypass
It could be any number of things. Ask your surgeon or see a GI doctor if your surgeon is no longer available.

Could be an ulcer. You won't just spring a leak out of no where and your internal incisions from your RNY have been healed for years and years. Now, you can get a perforated ulcer, where the ulcer actually makes a hole in your stomach. That's not related to your WLS though.
Please note: I AM NOT A DOCTOR. If you want medical advice, talk to your doctor. Whatever I post, there is probably some surgeon or other health care provider somewhere that disagrees with me. If you want to know what your surgeon thinks, then ask him or her. Check out my blog.
It is much more likely an ulcer. A leak two years after your surgery would be extremely unlikely, and would cause many more symptoms than just a burning sensation. A leak will result in severe abdominal pain, fever, and nausea/vomiting.
