I had my VSG in September of 2008. I am starting to have issues with my little tummy. Anyone else having problems?

hi,

I'm sorry to hear you are having trouble with your tummy.  I'm only 3 years post op, so I've no experience here, but hopefully others will reply

best wishes

Carol

Last Wednesday night I woke up with massive tummy pain. It literally felt like someone was blowing up my little tummy like a balloon. I hurt so bad I could not even move. I tried to do a 5 day pouch reset to get it back to normal and I can't hardly eat anything. I can't even finish a 5 oz tub of yogurt. Please it hurts to eat anything cold or that is the slightest bit heavy. The only thing I can eat or drink has to be hot or warm.

I am 5 years out. Last year I got to a point where I couldn't keep solid food down and gallbladder attacks. Ended up I needed both the gallbladder out and a very large hiatel hernia repaired (same surgery). Doing better since then, but the digestive system is easily irritated by fats and other foods.

I had my gall bladder out in 1988. I told my husband if I had one I would swear it was my gall bladder.

You can get stones in the duct without a gall bladder. Google choledocholithiasis

That's awful, have you checked in with your surgeon or been to the ER? Please take care of yourself. Go to the ER if you don't have a surgeon.

I can't get a hold of my surgeon. I have tried.
