Anyone have nausea, vomiting, & abd pain 9 mos post-op requring another surgery?

I am now 9 months post-op and have had nausea every day since 2 wks post-op. sometimes I get vomiting, then have to go to hosp. for IV fluids and meds. When I was 3 months post-op the abd pain started, Ihave had 3 endoscopies now and the ulcers I had (according from the first 2)have since healed. I asked for a surgical consult the last time I was in the hosp., and was told that he felt I had a herniation of the intestine through an opening that was created during the original surgery to attached the intestine to the pouch. Nothing will show this on x-rays, CT's,etc, because it is behind the stomach, so he will have to do an exploratory to find the problem and then fix it. I am scheduled for that surgery October 8, 2003, but I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem and the corrective surgery?
