major problems 7 years out

I was wondering if there is anyone out there with the similar problems I have? I had my surgery in Jan 2003, was sent home on a pic line because I could not keep anything down, over the years I have been in & out of the hospital about 10 times, where no one can find a problem, In June of 2008 I had a double hernia due to the gastric bypass it was fixed lap. & my surgeon also said he followed my bowel all the way down & repaired holes. Yeah I thought I am cured. Wrong, In Aug of 2009 I was in the hospital for a week had every test run on me possible, the found out that the stomach that was by passed and not in use any more is filled with air & liquid. When I tell you I can't eat I can't eat! I live on yogurt ensure & pain meds because of the amount of pain I am in, So now I am going to NYC Cornelle NYP & seeing a Dr. Dakin he is running a battery of tests on me, CT scan w/ contrast, upper GI of small bowel, endoscopy, MRI, etc. I started out at 330 and am now 125 I look like skin & bones, I was wondering if anyone else has has similar problems, & what was your diagnosis & what they did to help you I am sure I have left out a million things this has been a nightmare but I don't regret it, I get that from everyone, but until someone is 330lbs they don't know how hard life is, even as difficult ans painful as it is I would not go back there has to be answers and I look forward to hearing from you all, because we are all in this together, so have been lucky and led normal lives & hats off to you & I am sure there have been people who have not been as lucky as me and maybe you can help me. what kind of life is it to live on meds. Thank you for taking your time to read my story
