pancreatitis

Avatar n tn She just started having increased Glucose the past 5 days. She had Gastric Bypass Surgery in 2001 and had many problems after including having her Gall Bladder removed. She is in extreme pain and they are afraid to go in and do exploratory due to the Gastric Bypass. We are so concerned and wonder if anyone else has had a something like this happen and what were the results? Maybe someone could direct us to a medical ream that has experience with this problem.
611067 tn?1458591483 I saw my gastro doctor and he says that he does NOT think I have chronic pancreatitis like my family doctor thought. He said that my lipace levels were not high enough and that the pain and bloating does not indicate that, plus the MRI shows that everything in that region looks good. He thinks that maybe there is something wrong near the connection sites from my gastric bypass. So, he has me scheduled for an endoscope on Nov. 11th.
611067 tn?1458591483 being off the Lortab and I'm not. I'm still suffering with the pancreatitis. The specialist is still trying to figure out how to get into my abdominal cavity considering my gastric bypass. I'm just depressed and feel like such a failure in all areas of my life right now. I could really use and escape right now and Lortab is sounding very good. I'm worried because I'm starting to use the Xanax more than usual as well.

Avatar f tn ve had my gallbladder removed in 2006, a ectopic pregnancy, then a hysterectomy (which they found endometriosis) , gastric bypass (2014)then had pancreatitis a month after that surgery. My father currently has cancer and out of my grandmas 8 kids 5 has passed from cancer (2 stomach,liver,lung,breast) so i scheduled for a endoscopy but my doctor doesn't seem concerned at all.
Avatar f tn Also i wanted to add (bc i guess u cant edit posts) when i had gastric bypass it was still considered a relatively "new" procedure and there wasnt a lot of information on what the long term effects would be ...and now here i am 14 years later flying blind not knowing what to expect as far what the long term effects are..and im sure there are some...i have physically altered the internal makeup of my body, my digestive tract..i have 2 stomachs, my intestines have been cut and rerouted..
Avatar f tn My psychiatrist has recommended Lithium or Depakote. My biggest concern is the weight gain. I had the Gastric Bypass about 2 1/2 years ago & have had great success, losing 150 pounds. I've been going to therapy/psychiatrists ever since I graduated high school back in 2005 but before that, my emotional issues/behavior were always ignored b/c my parents didn't believe in therapy. I was on various antidepressants for a few years and nothing ever helped me.

3660320 tn?1347816593 I had Gastric Bypass and am not allowed Nsaids and I react badly to Aspertame and sugar free now. Any ideas what I can take?
Avatar n tn So, you had gastric bypass and not the sleeve? Normally if it was gastric bypass, the surgery cures gerd . by removing the stomach, there are few cells to produce acid. Question, have you gained weight back at all recently? What type of bypass did you have? There are a couple of different ways they do it.
690240 tn?1227301359 my wife has had the gastric-bypass back in july of 2008, how will the gastric bypass affect her sex drive.
Avatar f tn I had gastric bypass surgery in 1981. Recently I have been losing weight in leaps and bounds and my dr is afraid I may have blockage down near my stomach and if I'm not better by my next appt, he is going to send my to a Gastroenterologist. See I would eat and then throw up. Today I am fine, but the day is young. I have been taking nausea meds and also cough meds today and they seem to have helped. Could someone help if they have ever had this problem before.
Avatar n tn I can speak from personal experince; had a gastric bypass and if I overeat or eat too fast and fill up, my nose starts to run. Had a hiatial hernia fixed twice, but because my pouch is smaller than a regular stomach, the runny nose still happens.
Avatar f tn t have any fancy tests done because I had gastric bypass. I was finally diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis July 2010. Please contact reply and let me know what you've found out!
611067 tn?1458591483 As for me, the specialist cannot do the test he wanted because my intestines (from my gastric bypass) are still too long for him (with an endoscope) to go throught he pouch into the intestines and back up into the duct area. So, he is doing an MRI instead this Friday. I'm feeling a lot better as far as pain goes, but still have the other symptoms of diarrhea, nausea and headaches.
Avatar f tn I am TTC and i also had Gastric Bypass done. Though it has been over 2 years (April of 07) i just wondered if anyone knows anything about getting prego after this or anything that i should know about that might happen. Any advice would be nice.
Avatar f tn the day before the mini stroke my skin turned yellow and my left side of my body, mainly my arm, hurt and was very heavy. now i have regular tingling in my hands and feet and almost daily bone pain in my arms and legs. weekly and daily supplements have helped most symptoms but not all. any ideas??
Avatar m tn hi,i had a gastric bypass 1 yr ago and my mom had hers 3yrs ago ,she uses ibprufen all the time for her pain and the dr prescribed it knowing about her g-bypass,also i take it on and off if i have very bad headache etc and never had any probs,i think the prob is if you take it every day for long eriod of time and thats not good for anyone never mind us as it can damage ur insides,so it goes for every one,but to take it on and off is fine,i asked my dr.

Avatar f tn I had a scope about 2 months ago and now I have been told since I have esophageal and reflux I that I need gastric bypass. my surgery is set for June 20th. I am very comprehensive knowing I need bypass. After reading comments with problems from gastric bypass, why would this be the best method? I didn't know of any issues with reflux. I have never had problems in the past.
Avatar n tn anyone on here had gastric bypass and if so have yall found that we dont absorb meds like we used to
563738 tn?1217064910 At your weight, its critical that something start happening or your life will be shortened dramatically. If it has to be gastric bypass, then get a good surgeon and begin a new life! Best of luck to you!
Avatar f tn Before they do a surgery like gastric bypass you have to loose a certain amount of weight before they will work on you. My mom had it done about 5 years ago and she was on a strict diet plan..its expensive and I believe with diet and exercise you can achieve the same results..
Avatar m tn Diets set you up for failure. You need to create a healthy way of eating that keeps your metabolism running on high and keeps your glucose levels from rising and dropping too much. This is done by eating every 3-4 hours, foods that are healthy to include fruit and whole grains, low carbs, protein, etc. I have heard of the bypass surgery curing diabetes, but the surgery comes with some big risks, and it's own problems.

Avatar n tn hi i had gastric bypass 9 yrs ago and now see a pain management dr for pain and i wonder if the reason the pain meds dont work is because they aremt liquid and we just dont absorb meds or anything very well for that matter is there anything yuo think that i could ask for pain that may come in a liquid for or maybe i have to have something stronger iam on loritab 10 i take 5 a day with no reliefl
Avatar f tn I had the gastric bypass due to diabetes. I am currently on the butrane patch and oxycod/acetamin 7.5 mg. The oxy are not working at all and believe due to the gastric bypass my body is not absorbing it right. Thank you for any suggestions.
