3 weeks post surgery

[TammyMiller]

I have been over weight my whole life. Once my children were raised I decided to take care of me. The surgery went as planned. I actually did really well, for 3 weeks. I was losing weight, walking and was able to eat all the full fluids I was directed. Without warning I had alot of blood in my stool. I was hospitalized but so far all the can find is an ulcer. Has anyone else had this side effect? I have other tests scheduled but this scared me alot.

Hi Tammy, sorry you need to go through some testing to figure out what is going on. I am probably too new to the group to know if others had this problem but I wanted to wish you luck as you go through further testing. I am hoping for the best for you, good luck!

I was hospitalized for the same thing, but at about 6 months out. It turned out to be diverticulitis. It only happened once. Hope you recover soon!

I am just starting puree food. First couple times was ok. Then I got food stuck. Would not go down or come up. Has anyone got any tips on how to get the food to move if it happens?
