pouch pain/adhesions post WLS & post csection

Hi ladies.  I know I've been MIA for a long time.  Just a quick question for you guys.  I'm 4 years post Roun-Y WLS, 2 yrs post csection, and had my galbladder out 2004, and plus 30 pounds from my lowest weight.  For a few weeks I've been having stabbing/burning pain on my left side.  First I went to the GYN thinking it was another ruptured ovarian cyst and an ultrasound ruled that out.  Then went to a Urologist, CT Scan, and ruled out kidney infection.  Urologist said it might be adhesions from my previous surgeries and wants me to see a general surgeon.  My gastric bypass surgeon no longer takes my insurance so I'm very disappointed.  My PCP is dragging their feet on getting a referral to a general surgeon.  Meanwhile, the pain is getting worse.  My pouch has been aggitated when I've taken asprin or ibuprophen before but not this bad.  Anybody have any experience with this?  Any advice?  Thanks.

Hey sorry you are going through that, sadly I have no advice but just wanted to say I hope they stop dragging their feet soon so you can get some relief and it never seems to fail when you need something done in a hurry is when it takes the longest!
Hope you feel better real soon!

No clue Tra...just wanted to say hi and tell you it was good to 'see' you and hear from you!  I hope you get an answer soon...and that it doesn't involve surgery....or a minor one at the most.

I am a little over threse years out from Roun-Y WLS.I have not had my gallbladder removed yet but i am experiencing some plus some of what you have mentioned here. I am having stabbing pain along with a LOT of naseous spells and even vomitting after eating.I am also dealing with a issue of my gastric bypass surgeon is 2600 miles away,i live in oregon now to where i had surgery in michigan as that is where im originally from.My insurance will not cover seeing a gastric bypass surgeon and the surgeon i did see has his hands up as he does not deal with WLS patients.
I could ramble for hours and i hope i made some sense here.I will be thinking and praying for u and if u find anything out please let u know as well as just letting us know how you are doing period.



BIG hugs

i'm not a doctor but yours sounds like a small bowel obstruction. Those can be painful if not treated "pronto".

Hi Tra! What causes the pain? Is it after you eat/drink?

Hi Tra! Sorry your back with health issues.  After my RNY (2-3 weeks) when most people feel human again, I was horrible...couldn't keep things in me, and felt like I was dying.  They found that I had adhesions that were beginning to cause a peterson's hernie (bowel obstruction) and that my gallbladder wasn't functioning great- but it didn't look bad on u/s.  So- I would say PUSH them to get it checked ASAP.  Hugs- Jenn!
