Twisted bowel

Hello again,

In October I began having terrific pain while eating. I was lethargic a few weeks before the pain. I saw the surgeon who did my RNY 5years ago. He ordered a cat scan, they found a large mass that was not causing my pain. I had surgery two weeks ago for the mass. The weight loss surgeon joined the surgery, and removed adhesions he said was causing a twisted bowel.

He's giving it 6 weeks to fix its self. So far since surgery I was in worse pain, even fluids caused pain. The last 4 days I can eat, but the pain comes only when I'm up for more than 15 minutes. I'm so happy to eat again!

I'm seeing the surgeon next week, I want him to go ahead and set up the second surgery. This one will be open, where he removes 5 inches of bowel.

Has this happened to you?
