Update on Drs appt!!
Spoke w/ dr yesterday. Thanks for all the support. Tried to post last night but was im'd by so many checking on me I could not keep up. He thinks the small intestine bacerial overgrowth is alot of the problem. I also had IBS prior to surgery. Stress is really irritating this. I have to learn a balance w/ fiber therapy and immodium. He is going to do a small bowel series and upper gi nov 9 just as a precautionary measure. Does not think he will find anything. Just want to be sure. Had a decent day w/ stomach yesterday but never know how long it will last. He did say that from last small bowel series I had a rapid transit time thru my small intestine even for a gb patient. Also that the psychological changes after surgery and hard on people and there families and I can def attest to that. Thanks again for all the support. Keep me in your prayers.

I hope you can find an answer for your stomach problems. I know it can be really frustrating and exhausting to have stomach problems. I had severe stomach pain for 2 1/2 months. ER visit, 8 dr appt , xrays and 2 CT scans and no one could figure it out. 
I really started to think it was all in my head and started to doubt myself. 
Dr Schirmer did an exploratory last Friday and I had adhesions and some problem with a stitch that had come loose because of my weight loss and was causing my intestines to twist around it and causing blockages. Keep your chin up. It may take time, but they will figure it out eventually. Psychologically I'm a mess. 
I was not prepared for that part at all and I don't really have anybody *****ally understands.Take care and good luck!
