Hi, I can't even imagine what you are going through. Have you considered seeing an endocrinologist for your sugars? I would also get a new dietician to follow you. You need encouragement instead of negativity. Have you also considered a second opinion? Maybe you need a fresh look at what is going on. Good luck. Mona

hello.. I am cross posting this.

Results from my oral contrast CT showed a "distended small bowel loop in the left upper quadrant below the diaphragm which is chronic". It also says it was there in a 2014 CT but appears slightly larger now. I had eaten and drank a small amount prior to this CT. I have had only residual pain in the left quadrant nothing alarming, I am able to eat and drink, but upper abdomen is distended after. The CT was to check for upper right quadrant and lower pelvic pain. Lower right pelvic finding was "chronic focal hyperdensity in the perineal region, unchanged and may be calcification".

My question is, has anyone had either of these diagnosis and either had it treated or left it untreated?

My bypass dr is wanting to do a DIAGNOSTIC laparoscopy but my thought is to find out exactly what we are dealing with first of possible.

next test is drink something and be X-rayed in the process to see how things are flowing through the pouch area.....

please please share your thoughts..thank you!

I'm post Rny. 

I had the exact same symptoms, went to Bariatic center of Excellance ER and told I have 3 cm Hiatel hernia, gastritis and an ulcer. Also subscribed Prilosec and PPI and also wondering how long I'm to keep with this regimen.

please let me know what Drs say....

Hi everyone,

I'm horrified and desperate for an answer from someone who has, unfortunately, experienced this. I had an RNY in April of 2009. I developed Reactive Hypoglycemia from it, which I have under control and is the least of my worries right now. I had to go to urgent care the other day for a concussion. I was weighed while there, and weighed in at 124.6. This means I've lost 12 pounds since October. For the past week (roughly), I then went to 123.6. Now today I'm at 122 pounds even. I'm horrified. My Hypoglycemia dietician said, "well you're not underweight". I admit I've slacked off for a while with good fats, which helps my Hypoglycemia, and also anything fattening. I got lazy. Also, for a while I simply didn't have an appetite and was barely eating. Makes sense why I'd be loosing, right? I've been stuffing my face since I spoke to the dietian 5 days ago. She said to eat more and up the good fats, because that's where the calories are. Seriously? I know this. The issue here is that I'm rapidly loosing. It's like I'm right back to square 1, when I'd just had my bypass, and was Malabsorbing. Each time my surgeon sees me, he's concerned about my blood glucose readings (they're excellent by the way), and tells me if I start getting low numbers that he'll have to reverse my bypass. When he looks at me and says this, he makes me feel like I'm about to take my last breath. Although my BG#'s are good, now I'm dealing with this rapid weight loss. I'm scared beyond words and beyond any form of comprehension that he'll have to reverse it. He said he'd have to remove my Pancreas

hi there....

I have had the same issues and have had nearly 20K in dental to try to fix and eventually remove and replace my teeth.

I can relate about the shame of not wanting anyone to know.  it is very embarrassing and to hear, "don't worry about it, people will like you for you" from someone that has ALL of their teeth is frustrating...  UGH!!!

I now only have 6 teeth left.  I have a full plate on top and a partial on bottom.  had my last tooth pulled 10 months ago and 5 months prior to that, my remaining teeth were OK. 

my dentist's thought is that I have suffered from SEVERE dry mouth since my WLS that has contributed to my tooth loss.
