I had my hernaia surgery with adhesions fixed in Dec ...all of a sudden I could eat again not really sure how this was effecting me but it was ...I have gone from 105 lowest up to 126 as of today ...I feel wonderful better than I have in the past 15 mo's I do not overeat by any means but I can take more than 2 bites at a meal ...this was major for me ...so I am thinking that perhaps my adhesions were wrapped around my intestines My face has some fullness back I was starting to look like the walking dead ...I have never missed a vite and have walked daily now I think I will join the gym and get things back into shape...its so nice to eat a whole yougart ...a whole banana  a cracker a slice of cheese ( not all at once ) but life is good again...I am blessed that I have my RNY I never complained about it but will say that the hernia surgery was 1000000000 gazzion times worse then my RNY ...best of luck to all of you Lisa

 EXCELLENT

Congratulations, that is great news !!!!

That's great news. Congrats!

WOOHOO!! I am so glad you are feeling better!!

Lisa,
First - congratulation.  I am happy for you.  

I also have a question: what were your symptoms with the hernia and adhesion? 

I am dealing with a lot of pain now if I eat, and I am not sure what causes it: ulcers or adhesion/ twisted intestines.  

Would you mind telling me what you went through with the adhesion? 

I get pain app 15 min after I eat.  I can drink protein drinks, eat yogurt, but anything with "substance" (meat, carbs, etc) cause pain ans swelling of my belly.  It gets swollen (almost instantly), a hurts in the front, but the back pain is much worse.  I know it is weird, but my pain radiates to the very back and it hurts so badly, that I was crying a few times.   
I am going to call my doc tomorrow, but it may be a while before they can find out what it is.  
I already had some cat scans before and they did not show anything. Now they probably will order EGD, to verify ulcer.  If not- then I probably may face the surgery.  (this issue has been going on and off for over 2 months.).  Now if I hurt I just take my pain pills and wait until it passes.  It is not every day, but when it happens, it is 2-3 days in a raw, then I get some break (when I eat very little and try to get my protein and food from mostly liquids - not fun) . Anyway, any info is appreciated.

It hurt all the time when I would eat food ...I started giving up taking bites here and there...I finally went to Dr and he said Oh you have a hernia this we found out because of the pain in the area that the hernia was in  awww Ok good fix it when I came out I found out that I had large amounts of adhesions ...the pain of recovery as I said was worse then my RNY ...I have a funny feeling that the adhesions were wrapped around my instestins ...this would not have even been seen on my CT scans etc ....only when they went in ...today I ate a whole WW meal ...first time in 15 mo's I am finding that my energy is coming back and I am feeling better every day ...almost like I was in a pain fog ....Lisa

I am thrilled to hear that you are feeling better!

GOOD FOR YOU!
