Complications Following WLS
Recent Posts
I am 2 months post RNY. I had a laparoscopic surgery with no complications and a typical recovery. Now at 2 months post I suddenly have pain again.
If I sit the pain is a 3. If I stand, cough, sneeze, bend, etc. the pain goes up to a 5. The pain is localized around the main incision site and radiates to my back.
This started after a day of typical, non-strenuous activities. The pain has been here for nearly 2 days now. I have been combing the net and can't find any post-op complication that seems to fit.
Has anyone had anything like this? Thanks.

I would seriously look at connective tissue disorders if I was you. You sound just like me. I had RNY in 2004 but was not Diagnosed with Hypermobility Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. More predisposed to hernias, obstructions, gi issues, malnutrition and malabsortion. I have to get venefur every 8 mo and also get vitamin infusions weekly at my pcp office who knows nutrition. The IBS may be diagnosis or symptom of greater diagnosis. Can look up info on medscape or just google hypermobility ehlers danlos syndrome. If want links just let me know.
Hey everyone! I'm 10 years post op, I've have a hernia with obstructed bowel, another hernia at another time, IBS, extreme vitamin/nutrient deficiencies which require iron infusions approximately every 8 months. I was wondering if anyone else has developed IBS or had to get iron infusions as well? Hoping everyone is doing well!
