Revision RNY-Small Bowel Issues
Has anyone experienced any issue with thier bowels and had to have it corrected? I am scared but I know it must me corrected.
Bowel Obstruction in 2005 (3 years post-op at the time). If you are able to sit and type this message thankfully you're not in pain as I was.
I dealt with the pain for a while thinking it was just bad gas, was told if I didn't go to the emergency when I did I would have most likely died.
Went through emergency on a Monday morning, care flighted to Presbyterian of Plano. Seven day hospital stay, four of those days with a wonderful NG Tube inserted for four of those days. Surgery performed on the third day of hospital stay, fast forward almost four years later I am doing fine.
I will tell anyone that is the worse pain I have ever been had in my life, which is why I felt like my tummy tuck was a cake walk.
FYI ANYTIME you have ANY surgery on your stomach that requires cutting, C-section, etc, you become a candidate for a Bowel Obstruction.
Not referencing you but people RESEARCH, RESEARCH and RESEARCH.
Google was and still is my best friend.
Mrs. Rhonda thanks for the input. This is the first that I will be cut in this way. When he said he will be making this long incision I almost choked. I know the head surgeon at UT Southwestern will do a good job but he clearly told me that I had no choice but to correct it. I just wish they checked this two years ago. I had been in pain and ended up in the ER. I cried like a baby. Now my symptons are getting worse. I have had reflux and heartburn. I asked them how I was to have these problems and I had no stomach. If the doc could have me on the table now he would. About time they called me on Monday at 9:30 they were wanting to see me by 11:30. He had all people ready to get me scheduled. I know this is serious but it is very scary.
