HELP!!!BAD SIDE EFFECT OF BARIATRIC/GASTRIC BYPAsS?

My mom had Bariatric Surgery on April 20, 2004. She Looks great and until about a year ago was feeling great. ALL of her OLD health problems are gone, but now she has several new ones but they dont know what they are… She has something wrong with the Pancreas, so they think. They keep taking her in for surgeries and dont know what they are going in for and just try to repair her. She is in SEVERE PAIN ALL THE TIME!!! She is litterly having contractions because it feels like something is closing. They are sending her to Mayo Clinic because it is so bad. What do we expect? Anyone had these problems… She has already had her Gall Bladder removed.

Please go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roux-en-Y_gastric_bypass_surgery. This page describes what gastric bypass entails and lists various complications that can result.

Have you talked with her doctors yourself, or are you going by what your mother is telling you? If you have not talked with your mother’s doctors yet, please do so for your own peace of mind.

Also, look up Chronic Pain Syndrome (CPS). I have included some info on this for you, too. (This gives you a more vivid description of CPS, and it sounds similar to what you are describing: http://www.healthscout.com/ency/68/629/main.html#DefinitionofChronicPainSyndrome.) Mention this to your mother’s doctors and get a referral to a neurologist.

If necessary, get a second (or even a 3rd!) opinion about your mother’s health problems.

I know you are scared. Be there for your mom and be strong! Take care of yourself and your mother.

May God be with you every step of the way.
