THEY know what has been the complication with my bypass...
!!!!!!!!!!!! I THINK WE MIGHT HAVE THE ANSWER TO ALL THE PROBLEMS.. wel some of them!!!!!
Went to Unversity hospitol yesterday to see the GI Specialty surgons. Went through EVERYTHING that has been happening to me that gi tummy related. OMG it looks like it is a symple thing to fix!!!... VERY VERY FEW of us (bypass patents) can get bateria buildup in your intestins. When this happens yo get long term nausia, vomiting, gurgling constipation. As well as a few more thigns. OMG here this. Takes a 2 week treatment of a very special anti-botic. Very expensive from what they said (my inc will cover it) Take it for 2 weeks and poof all gone. Then will have to take it maby every 6 months for the rest of my life. It only works on this specific bacteria. Nothing else. And if this is not what is wrong. It will do nothing. THe antibotics can not hurt me in any way. They say this comes from the reduces food through the intestins. Normal ppl have this bacteria as well. Well all humans do but when they eat it clears it out of the intestins with the food. Well we do not eat as much as "normal" stomachs. And I think the banger for me that did this was I have Cealic Desease. I am elergic to wheat and gluten. Bam. Take the meds once every 6 months and I should be good. Though there is a certain protene I have to get at a healthfood store that will keep the bateria in its place for up to 6 months. I AM SOOOO excited to stop this sidefeects. Over 9 months of them now. WOHOOO. THis still has nothing to do with my pain and many other things wrong with me. That is being delt with by other Dr's. I see a nurosurgen next weel about spinal surgery on my neck, knee replacement and getting my broken tailbone fixed. No, not all at the same time but hopefully I will have a better idea of what I am in store for in te future. and GUESS WHAT !!! I CAN WALK AGAIN!!!!. I still use the wheelchair because of the neck and knee but I soooo sneek out and try and do more stuff. I still can not do huge amounts of stuff out of the chair. I pay for it in pain for several days after. BUT I CAN WALK AGAIN!!!!!! 3 steps before was almost impossible for me.
BTW... pre op April 2008----463 pounds... TODAY 292!!!!!!!!!!
Be well my friend!!!

I got a tear in my eye reading your post, I am so happy for you.
The bacteria thing is interesting too, you should post this on the main board to in case someone else is experiencing similar.

HMMM. The main board might be a good idea. In 9 months of this and my very experienced bypass surgon has never heard of this. It might help others.
What they want me to take as in protene is a rare one. As soon as I am off the antibotics I can take them. When I ask all the questions after I buy the protene I will post and let you guys know. I was told it is not in a mix drink form. It has to be active in culturs like yogert or something. But a specific one that is at a healthfood stor. When I know more I will let you guys know.
