Major Complications from Gastric bypass almost 3 years out and I am only 22
I simply think the various stories and posts she has made don't "jive" or whatever. I do have empathy for anyone who is struggling -- I simply don't believe things are as dramatic as she implies. If she were dying it would be illegal for a hospital not to treat her.

Gallbladder ~ nearly everyone has to have their gallbladder removed post weight loss surgery. Known side effect, NOT a complication
Adhesion's and a hernia ~ known complication of ANY abdominal surgery
Appendix ~ TOTALLY UNRELATED
Ulcers ~ Known side effect
Esophageal narrowing ~ aka stricture; also known side effect
Extreme weakness and fatigue ~ signs & symptoms of iron deficient anemia
Iron deficient anemia ~ known side effect; take your supplements
Hyperthyroidism and have an over active thyroid instead of under active which is what I had prior to the surgery ~ are you having your TSH monitored and titrating your thyroid medication accordingly?
High Blood Pressure ~ uh, because you’re vomiting because of your untreated stricture?

Not being a doctor, i dismiss the appendix as coincidence, your gall bladder should of come out during the original surgery, no change in pouch size , congratulations on not stretching it out, you've been good on following the rules of chewing and not over eat ting.
the high BP needs to be addressed, a PCP will be able to find a reason for that. you may just be stressing out on this.
I am so sorry you are having these issues, feel free to read my page/blog...you are NOT alone! You can also check out the complications forum. I have been through a lot as well, if I were you I would do whatever you can to get yourself to a major medical center like Cleveland Clinic. I know it's far, but they aren't going to turn you away. Please get somewhere quickly, I'm concerned (as I know you are) about your health. Good luck and take care!

If you were unable to drink, you'd have been dead in a matter of days, not still ticking 3 years later.
I would settle for just plain medical care right now. Reach out to your PCP.
