We are different and I had forgotten how important that is. See a person who specializes in bariatric patients. The other guys don't know what to look for unless it smacks them in the face by accident!
Go to www.asmbs.org and find the history of WLS. you should be able to find out that was one of the reasons they stopped doing the JIB, but there might be some helpful stuff there for you.

P.S. My year + long absence has NOTHING to do with my WLS, or my type of WLS. See my profile.
Any of you that had insulin Resistance or Type 2 Diabetes have regrets or complications?

I am interested in how they migrated and where they migrated to. I havent had any complication but my staples on an xray look jagged. Can you give a bit more detail? Thanks!!

My latest enteroclysis showed I have blind loop syndrome. I don't have my follow up until next month. So I don't know what it is or what the treatment plan will be.
I am 7 years post op from a roux en y. I have had complications from day one and have only been pain free six months out of the whole 7 years. I've had 2 bowel leaks, 2 obstructions, 25+ endoscopies, 4 colonoscopies, and a total of 7 surgeries including my roux. All of them within a 18 month period. I have also had numerous ulcers.
I'm trying to research the diagnosis. I was wondering if anyone else has had this or knows of anyone that does? Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks,

I have major adhesions from all the surgeries I had. I'm almost to the point where they may go back in to cut out the adhesions, we've just been trying to avoid it as long as we could. I have similar symptoms to yours. They just diagnosed it as blind loop syndrome. I don't go to the gi until Feb 1 to discuss what it means to me and treatment plan.
Good luck.

I am so sorry you are living with this. It is so terrible. I finally convinced my PCP to give me pain meds to carry around. I have no recommendations, as the pain made no sense according to position, diet or anything.
Please keep me posted. The recovery from this is not as bad as the bypass but still feels like a truck hit me.
