after my gastric bypass reversal

I had my reversal on October first of this year. I have had nothing but problems since. I have been told by my surgeon after many tests that I have /gastorparesis witch sucks because there is nothing I can eat or drink without vomiting. It got so bad that I started vomiting blood to the point they hospitalized me for 5 days. Now I have a picline in my arm going to my heart that is being feed by a backpack of medicine 24 hours a day. The doctor and the home nurses that come to my home now say it could last forever.has anyone els had a reversal done, or had this miserable condition? I feel hopeless as if there is no end to the agony I feel.Any insite would be great.

I haven't but am curious why you had the reversal done.  I am getting ready for surgery so I want to know  even about the horror stories.  I will add you to my prayer list.  Hopefully you will get to feeling better soon, and not be stuck with the pair (or constant medications!)

I went from 400 lbs down to 140lbs keeping in mind I am 6'1 and was still droping, not absorbing any vitamins, sick to the point i couldnt get out of bed.

I have gastroparesis.  I take domperidone for it and I seldom have symptoms from it anymore.  Are you on meds for it?

I had my RNY in May 2011 and then earlier this summer started having major nausea and vomiting. I was diagnosed with Gastroparesis. The gastro Dr said my options were a reversal or a gastrectomy. My surgeon said that there was no guarantee the reversal would solve the Gastroparesis so I had the gastrectomy on Oct 18. It's been a tough go but I'm hanging in there. What prompted your reversal?

my surgeon actually reccomended the reversal as we have tried nearly everything els we could think of.

Take a look at the Weight Loss Surgery Complications Forum.

I only know of one person who has had a reversal, but once she had her RNY reversed she stopped coming to this site. I would be surprised if anyone with a reversal comes to this forum. You might want to retitle your post (or create a new one) if you are looking for others with gastroparesis (surely Kelly is not the only other one, but they might not open this post).

I hope you feel better soon.

I didn't have a reversal but did have to have PICC line with TPN. I only had that for 3 months! I feel for you. It is very difficult when ever you put something,anything in your mouth it hurts and comes right back up! I will be praying for you so they can figure out something to end your misery and make you feel better.
