CJ,
sorry to hear about your pains, i know the feeling. i just had a diagnostic lap(may 7) for what my dr thought may have been an internal hernia, turns out i had intussuseption and adhesions. i was having stomach pains for 3 weeks prior to having the diag. lap surgery. i was getting the pains sometimes after eating and sometimes not, the pains would just come on all of a sudden. i had a ct scan, normal, blood work normal. i had an egd(endoscopy) about 7 months ago, normal. my dr ruled out things with diagnostic tests, but the pain got so severe one day it brought me to the er. the er dr told me it was ibs and sent me home. when i followed up with my dr he wanted to to the diagnostic lap to see what was really going on inside. good thing he did. i hope you get some answers soon. i know how frustrating it is to have these pains and have test come back normal. i'll pray for you and please let me know how you do.
if you have any questions for me i'll be happy to answer anything.
good luck!
Congratulations on your reversal. Enjoy being healthy again.
Just a little advice from somebody that has been there. When you first have it reversed, it will be easy not to go back to your old ways. It doesn't take very long to get old habits back. When I start to emotional eat, I remember all that I went through to lose weight. You may not have the "tool" anymore, but let the memory of it help you in your journey.
I pray that everything gets back to normal

On May 10 I made the best decstionfor my heath My RNY was Reversed!
Thanks for all the support everyone has given me! Please remember that until you have walked in anothers shoes you shall not judge!
i did have a bit of pain for a week or so after surgery, but am fine now. but it seems like i have more 'gurgling' and noise in my gut that I used to; or maybe I am just super sensitive to everything now...hard to say.
my doc said they really don't know why this happens, it just does sometimes. he said if it becomes a chronic problem then a revision might be necessary.
keep in touch, and I wish you well!

Diane,
i just had surgery last friday(may 7) for what my dr thought was an internal hernia. turns out it was intussuseption & adhesions. really scary. not sure about chances of reoccurance, and why/how did it happen? i am 2 years post lap RNY. still doing research on this. my mother in law found an article on intussuseption and open RNY. here is the link if you want to read it.
http://www.asbs.org/html/pdf/soard_article_080606.pdfare you still having problems with stomach pains after surgery? i am, dr told me probably muscle spasms. i'll keep in touch, wish you speedy recovery.
thank you for sharing. I'm so sorry you went through all of that! There is a post a couple down from yours 'help I weigh 99lbs'
