Long limb revision last July, extensive problems. Looking for anyone that can help

Extream Diarrhea, bleeding hemorrhoids, terribly foul smelling burps (they can be smelled from 5 feet away), Waking up many times during the night to go the bathroom, extream tiredness, leg cramps. I have tried everything my doctor could come up with and now he is saying it might be something I just have to live with. I'm taking liquid B12 and when tested it was 256 which he says is fine. I need to find answers. Family Practice Doctor is suggesting trying a different doctor, any ideas or suggestions? I should mention, I had original bi-pass done 25 years ago. 15 years ago, when having gallbladder surgery, the doctor reported he was going to fix my original surgury because they had found problems with it. After he "fixed" it, I started gaining weight and couldn't do anything to loose it. I went to see Dr. Buchwald at the U of M thinking I had done something wrong and that was why I was gaining. He checked my pouch and said it was still small, my staples were all in place. He said sometimes people's bodies just got used to smaller meals and amounts and it took further surgery to restart it. He suggested a long limb revision. What was suppose to be a 2-2 1/2 hour operation ended up as 7 and one problem after another. I'm hoping someone has some ideas.
