Guest guest Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 For those that have heard me complain about my abdominal pain, My bariatric surgeon has determined that it is a partial bowel obstruction caused by scar tissue. I am 12 weeks pregnant and I will be going in for surgery early next week to fix things up. I opted mot to wait until after I deliver, for many reasons. I have a 1-2% chance of losing the baby. If you can, please say a prayer for me. Thanks, ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 - We will be praying for you and your little one. My mom has had side pain and her surgeon thinks it's caused by adhesions, so I know how painful that can be for people. I had my gullbladder taken out in my 2nd trimester and did well and so did baby, so I know your little one will do just fine!

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 What type of pain have you had? I have been in the ER fro 2 nights with such bad what feels like massive sinching gas I cant stand it. It radiates to my lower back. They did an abdominal ultrasound and blood work and say it is gastritis but It continues. I am feeling a milder version tonight. Any input is great thank you? How far out of surgery are you? Thank you stacey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2004 Report Share Posted January 10, 2004 I am not sure who you were asking this question to, but since I have been having abdominal pain, I guess I am slilghtly qualified to answer. Mine started this past August, and I was about a year out from surgery. I believe mine is trapped gas, but I think it is being trapped from how the baby is laying. I also find that if I know I am going to eat something that has been known to cause me gas in the past, I take some gas-x before hand, and if I do get the pain it is only mild, and I can soak in a warm tub and it tends to stop the pain. My ob specialist thinks I might have adhesions on my intestines, and when the baby moves around he is pushing on them. I will find out in about 3 weeks after I give birth. I guess we would have both been correct if I no longer have the pain. Niki Re: Abdominal Pain What type of pain have you had?

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 Same thing happened to me. I went to the ER with thehorrible pain and they said I was fine. I am post op- 15 months. I am going into the hospital for the surgery to fix the situation tomorrow. I am hoping my bariatric surgeon looks around good for anything and everything that might be causing the pain. I would hate to go thru this and still have the pain and then have to go back for a hernia repair in 7 months. My bariatric dr says that it is a partial bowel obstruction caused by scar tissue. Unfortunatley there are no tests that they can do to diagnose this. I have been going thru the pain and there is no end in sight, so I opted to have the surgery now, even thought there are risks to the baby. Good Luck and I will let you know how it goes for me. FYI, a heating pad has been a saving grace for me. You may want to try it. -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 Stacey, I had pain that I thought was gas, it hurt about 45 minutes after I ate and sometimes it hurt if my stomach was empty. Even water seemed to give me gas pain that would start in the front and then work its way to my back. I was like that for a year and finally gave in and went to the Dr. My PCP sent me to my surgeon who sent me to a gastrologist. He found that I had an ulcer in my small intestine. They put me on carafate and protonix and my pain went away almost immediately. Now I only have pain when I forget to take the meds, but it only takes a couple of minutes for the pain to go away after I take the carafate. Apparently ulcers are not uncommon for us WLS patients. I had my surgery 4 years ago yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 > > Hi Meg! I just wanted to tell you that it is so strange that you are going > through the big kid bed decision. Hi a, Thanks for your thoughts....I agree with you - if he doesnt seem to be interested in leaving the crib, I cant imagine he will. My friends who have kids the same age that have moved them to the bed had the kind of kids that were actively trying to create escape routes! Thankfully mine is content to sit and play with her 5 milion stuffed animals till I come get her. I know what you mean about feeling bad that your kids know you are sick. It has to be hard - you dont want them to grow up thinking that they were a burden or anything like that. But I think you made a fantastic point - you are actually spending quality time with your kids - it may not always be spent bouncing up and down...but thats not what matters most. You're there- thats what counts. One more thing - I think what you are doing is wonderful - taking in a foster child - I know it can be difficult, but you are truly saving soem childs life. Hopefully in the future, I will be able to adopt or do something similar. take care meg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
