Her symptoms were that she couldn't eat or drink anything more than a sip because her remnant stomach was so distended that it was pressing on the new pouch.  Once they inserted the tube which was very irritating for her as well she felt better.  She just got the tube out today and told her she should feel blessed because of your story and another, having to have it in for months. I was shocked to hear that people were having this problem quite some time after their surgery...  I thought it only happened when you had just had surgery.  I really appreciate you sharing your story and taking the time to respond to me...THANK YOU so much. I was so worried about her, and I was the one who talked her into the surgery so I felt really guilty.  I pray for the your speedy healing. Again thank you so much for your time. I'm sorry that I didn' respond earlier I didn't see the response until I went on my email...Oh one question off topic...I have been trying to upload a ticker from the ticker factory would you happen to know how to do that?

I am better than 10 years post op.  I have had extremly low blood sugars for several years.  Sometimes as low as 30.  And yes I can walk and talk when I am that low.  My endo is starting to think nesidioblastosis.  I am just wondering about what kind of testing you all went through and what I should be asking for.  BTW I lost about 200 pounds.

I was told I had 2 years to live with my weight being what it was and all my health issues.  To me, it was a chance I was willing to take because I'd rather have another 10-15 years of life than 2.  It's up to you to outweigh the benefits and risks.

Call your surgeon, it may be nothing, but it could be serious.
Do not wait, better to be safe than sorry.
Hope you feel better.

Sorry to hear about your sister.  What are her symptoms?  And what has the surgeon said they think is wrong?  I eneded up going back to work and am doing okay.  I changed my job and it's less stressful and I am happier so I think that also makes a difference.  I still have symptoms and they come and go without any warning and not related to what I eat or don't eat.  I have just learned to live with it.  Thankfully the nausea is no longer an issue.  Just episodes of severe, double you over type of pain and it can last minutes to hours.  Also tremendous amounts of gas, bloating, belching....this is an every day occurence.  It's nice to be thin but the symptoms are difficult to manage.
