I am soooo tired of pain and feeling like I have to . I go from being able to eat enough for two people whom have NOT had surgery to not being able to even drink water. I have horrible tummy pain. I had surgery 2 weeks ago for adhesions (? spleeing), Well today after my upper GI I am told I have a fistula. Well, I had been telling them that food was in my GI bag since they put that awful tube in my old tummy to drain it. They thought I was just imagining it I guess. Well, no imagination my pouch empties right into my old tummy. Just one day with no tubes, pain, or sickness! Is that asking too much? Anyone else had one of these? If so please advise me. I was unable to speak to a Dr today (as usual) they were all busy. Thanks in advance hope I am not too negitive just being honest.

Ahh honey, I have no advice just couldn't read your post without telling you how much my heart aches for you.  You are in my prayers....I pray you have some peace and rest. and feel better soon.
I owed it to myself to research the duodenal switch before consenting to any other weight loss surgery and so do you.  Check out DSFacts.com and DuodenalSwitch.com for more information.  Remember think twice, cut once, revisions are risky and revision surgeons are rare.

You are so right. Nobody ever is on their death-bed and says they wish they had worked longer at a miserable job!! Let your heart lead you.

I had no idea you were going through all of this. I will say my prayers for you and hope you get to feeling better real soon.
