Topic: RE: kink and\or bowel obstruction

I had surgery two days ago.my 3rd obstruction that needed surgery. Nothing showed up on tests prior to this surgery. I can go back to work in 2 weeks. Was done laposcopically. Last one , I was back work in 1 week. If pain doesn't let up, u need to go to ER. My first obstruction, I had symptoms on and off for months. Went in by ambulance when pain wouldn't go away. Ended up being strangulated bowel obstruction  dr said 1 more hour and I'd have been dead. Don't mess around.

You may look into SIBO http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_intestinal_bacterial_over growth

I had RNy and over last few years I have increasing number of health issues: skin condition, IBS-C, allergies to foods, intolerances, etc... anemia and B12 deficiencies (I need b12 shots once a week) and so on...Even vision - eyes issue...

All of that can be explained by SIBO... ..I hope I can convinced my doc to he;p with treatment . 

 

But s far as I read- treatment alone will not fix the issue permanently - and during treatment and when I improve -  I need to follow a very strict diet to avoid recurrence.

Topic: Blind loop Syndrome

Looking to talk to anyone who has been told they have this problem. I have cyclic rashes and fevers that cause severe joint pain and tenderness. I am 12 years post RNY to Ds revision. I am miserable and feel very alone with this. I can't find anyone else "Lucky" enough to have this problem. My Email is [email protected]. Or my facebook is Melanie Loyd Gadsden Al.

I am so happy to finally see a post from you.  I had been checking every few months hoping you would post an update.  I had hoped that you had been busy recovering but I see that you have been having a tough time.  Glad to hear that there is a new plan that will help you to get well again.  Best wishes for this next stage in your journey.

I am curious as to why you would say to stop?

Thanks for the insight

Topic: RE: reverse gastric bypass

I had a gastric bypass 20 years ago and the last several years I have had lots of stomach pain and the last year I have lost additional 60 pounds and can't keep weight on.  I have severe oxalosis and the nephroligist wants me to reverse the gastric bypass.  What are your thoughts?  Do you know of anyone in Utah that has had it reversed with success?  My body can not aborsb the nutrients.  I can't work, need some information.
