1 year surgiversary and I'm in pain like I was right out of surgery. List of symptoms are
Nausea it comes and goes and hangs around all the time but at its worst after I eat.
Its on the right side but sometimes is in between my left and right ribs.
My stomach is LOUD and moves A LOT like it did when I had my surgery a year ago.
I'm bloated BIG TIME and no amount of burps or farts (sorry about that word) help.
I'm tired. This has been going on well over 7 weeks now. I've put it off thinking well maybe its this, maybe its that, It wasn't until 2 weeks now I really figured I had to get seen. Well, They did the ultrasound and it showed a normal gall bladder. So they did a HIBA (I think that's what it is on Thursday) I haven't heard back yet.
I'm just so tired. I almost wish they can just cut me open to see what the problem is. I don't think I have a temp.
I have to take my grand daughter to have a hernia fixed on Wednesday so I'm not pressing the dr's cause I want her fixed first.
I asked for nausea medicine like I got when I had my surgery and they gave me pills but they do not work. They wouldn't give me the liquid either which is what I asked for. The nurse told me to buy an antacid like tums or rolaids, I'm like SERIOUSLY???? I think I would know if it was heartburn, acid reflux, gerd or gas (I suffered with it for many years before gastric bypass) I just cant eat. If I do I either have pain or pressure and bloating instantly.
Ideas? advice? something to try or stay away from ?
Thanks everybody
It could be your gall bladder. I too had the HIDA scan done and it showed my gall bladder was functioning like at 12%, so I had it taken out right after Christmas. When do you get the results of your HIDA scan back? That should tell you more. Weird thing with me is I only had one really bad gall bladder attack while at work one day. When they open my gall bladder up after surgery, it shows I had dozens of little stones, guess I was lucky and didn't have big ones.
When I had stomach pains, I went back to liquid diet - prot shakes and then added stuff back. It turned out I had problem with new vitamins. I'm not saying that vitamins are your problem, but I went back to a baseline and then experimented with trying foods one at a time and waiting to see if the new food gave me problems. Until you get this figured out, you have to eat as healthily - prot and fluids - as you can.

I did not ave stones in my GB but it was full of sludge. It was not working. All the symptoms as you describe.
During GB surgery they also found hernia.

I had the same symptoms. It was scar tissue combined with something stuck (they think). I was originally diagnosed with an ulcer. They had me on OTC antiacids for two weeks, then omeprazol (sp?) for two weeks. I lost alot of weight in that month. I was feeling as though I might die (literally). I called my doc and they said to go to the emergency room. They opened me up and found very inflamed intestines. He "released" some scar tissue. They put me on a powerade diet for two weeks. REally, nothing but powerade. I couldn't handle the flavor, so I diluted it 50/50 with water. Once I went on the clear liquids I felt much better. I slowly went back to real foods, at a pace similar to right after surgery. But you should go to your surgeon. It may be something more serious. I hope it is something simple.
