So, I had RNY June 22nd, I have lost 50 pounds, that is ery exciting!  However, I have been hospitalized three times since the initial surgery and have had a second surgery to fix an adhesion that kinked my intestines and to removed my intestines were also stuck to my stomach.  So after that was fixed I could eat immediately, it was amazing.  But since a week after the adhesion removal surgery I have been experiencing terrible stomach pains that radiate into my back.  The only thing that helps is laying down.  So I have been spending a lot of time on my back.  I spent a couple days in the hospital and they have no clue what is wrong with me.  They have ran all the tests, but nothing is coming up.  Has anyone else experienced this type of pain that only occurs standing and sitting upright?  They have given me Reglen to "get things moving"  but I wasn't having problems with "getting things moving", so now I am suffering "things moving a bit to much"
I am so frustrated!!!!!

 I haven't had any troubles like you described but I just wanted to let you know that I hope things will get fixed very soon!!  You are a very strong person for everything you've been through in such a short amount of time and you sound positive about it, keep that up!  

Best of luck to you!!

Have you tried posting this on the Weight Loss Surgery Complications Message Board? Someone on there might have had the same experience. I hope you get better soon!

I hope things get better for you.. Just a shot in the dark but do you have your gall bladder and have they checked that extensivly if you do?

I had my gall bladder removed 6 years ago, so that's not it, but the pain is similar to the pain I felt when I had gall stones.
