I had gastric bypass surgery in 12/04. I have had no complications of any kind.
In the last 2 weeks, however, something bad is happening. I thought at first that I was becoming lactose intolerant and the lattes I drink each morning were becoming a problem. I gave them up 2 weeks ago. Not that.
I have VERY painful gas and a tremendous amount of bubbling in my stomach all day long which leads to back pain, headaches and diarrhea. I have tried many OTC remedies for both stomach upset and gas and nothing is working.
I am in the middle of a probationary period at a new job, my health benefits will not come into play for another 3 wks. A doctor’s visit is out of the question.
Does anyone out there know what this might be? I have read on some GB forums of some TERRIBLE issues people have had post-surgery, like small tears in the new stomach and the like. But in every case I read about, that came to the fore much earlier than this. Anyone have any informed ideas about this?
