I had a small bowel obstruction at 3 days after my initial surgery. Luckily they were able to go back in through the initial ports and fix it without a huge operation. My bowel had twisted at the new connection. It was untwisted and everything started working properly again.
I was told that it could happen again and I needed to be on the lookout for symptoms in the future. I'm only 7 weeks out from surgery and so far so good.
From my reading I have discovered that it is an uncommon, but not unheard of, complication from RNY.
