Topic: Gastroenterologist recommendation, please! (x-post)

 

Does anyone have a recommendation for a gastroenterologist in the greater Washington D.C. Metro area? I have developed a stricture and am not entirely happy with my current GI doc in Northern VA.

Thanks!

Topic: RE: My Upper Abdomen is HUGE and I Can't BURP!!
My suggestion is ask if you have "leaky gut". I had this issue and found a way to control it, as well as my constant nausea, gut pain and malabsorption issues. My surgery was an open RNY 2001. Complication arose a year later, i stroked in 2004. I was on infusions since 2004, and now my port (central line for nutrition, etc) has been removed in July. I eat whole foods, not processed, fruits, veggies, etc...but what saved my life and balanced my system? Cannabis oil. Email me if you have questions. ~Blessings

Topic: 3 yr post op rny-unexplained weight loss

I had been holding steady at 143 pounds a year ago.  Nothing has changed per se in my situation (still eating when I am hungry and good foods).  My weight is now 129.  I have had blood tests, ct scan and stomach scoped with no conclusions.  Has anyone else experienced unexplained weight loss with rny?
