Hi Suds,
It upset me to hear that your having some discomforts now..you were doing so great. I agree that you should call your Dr. about it. I'm still having a problem too, & just had another CT-scan of the uppergastric area where my problem seems to be stemming from, & also the pelvis area to see if there is anything else going on. I still have a problem with pain after eating.
I've spoken to many people that has had our surgery, & every one has had either similar or indifferent problems after GB removal. One of the similar ones was the Bloating you were describing, & some say it comes & goes, & could take a while for it to dissipate.
I guess it's a possibility of some gravel or something still passing through your ducts. I asked my Gastro that question also,& he said, no, but had me do another CT-scan anyway. I would definitely consult the Dr about. Besides a CT-scan, I think an ERCP test would be more conclusive as to have to determine if there were stones in the ducts.
I'm no expert, but I would think that your just having some aftermath from the surgery. I recall you saying your Mom had the same symptoms (how is she?) Perhaps, something your eating may be giving you some kind of reaction ..even a couple of days after. Sometimes I also get that distended bloated feeling,out of nowhere. I went to sleep with it last night.. Have you tried sticking to bland low fat or no fat foods for a while, & see if that makes a difference? I also stoped taking my Nexium meds as sometimes the PPI's on a daily basis can contribute stomach ailments. I did feel better after I stopped them. Please keep us posted...Do call your Dr.
