Trouble after gastric bypass

Viola

New Member
Having trouble with vomiting and burping after eating or drinking no matter what I do, Dr can not find out what is causing. Have done testing and follow-up surgery. I am sorry I had the surgery
does anyone have an answer?
 
Hello, Viola,

Welcome. I'm sorry to hear about your problems.

Which surgery did you have? Date? Tell us a bit about what and how you're eating. What testing and followup surgery have you had?

I'm not the best one here to help you but this information should be helpful to others.

Keep on keepin' on. You can do this.

I'm glad you came here. It's a good resource and fantastic support.
 
Viola-Here are some basic questions. Are you taking a prescription antacid like Prolosec? Are you following the prescribed meal plan? Did your doctor check for ulcers and stenosis or stricture (narrowing or closed up pouch "outlet")? At the very least the doctor should have done an endoscopy to take a look inside of your pouch. If he / she hasn't done this yet call and set up an appointment for this procedure. It's sort of like a post surgical "101" for someone with your symptoms. The only reason I know about this is because of a few posts from others on this forum with similar symptoms.

Please let us know how things work out for you.
