Staple Line Rupture - 4 yrs out?
I will be 4 years out next month and last night I had the scare of my life! I work long hours and when I got home last night I remembered I hadn't eaten anything all day. Had some leftover chili in the fridge so I ate it...(possibly too much too fast), started feeling weird like I was about to dump which rarely happens so decided to lie down. My stomach felt like it was about to pop and my pouch became very sore. Now this morning everything I eat or drink feels weird going down, my stomach is gurgling, have gas, and my pouch still aches. I'm so scared that I've ruptured my staple line but is this even possible since I'm so far out? Please help...have an appointment tomorrow with my surgeon because this has never happened to me before. My biggest fear is that I'll begin to gain all the weight I've lost back again.
