A word of warning I'm coming up to 10 month post by pass and really been ok . In July had really bad abdominal pains and admitted had a scan given strong pain med but nothing found . I though oh we'll it's wind . It happened a few times took buscopan and some pain killers and it would go away . Sorted I thought . Luckily I ran out on Saturday so needed to see out of hours . She wanted me to go in . To hospital . My blood showed an infection but apart from pain I was well and didn't have pain in lower right region of.abdomen so medic thought and I agreed may be a bowel infection but they dis a CT scan thank goodness , it showed appendicitis and operated on Monday . When I came round I was told it was a nasty abscess with small bowel adhesions and they worked on me for a long time . So folks be careful get pains checked out

I'm getting better thank you . It's weirded because similar to by pass pain and energy levels . But I can eat a more varied diet . A bit worrying I lost 11 pound in a week . So I'm going to contact my team I know it's not my bypass as when they were in the had a look and all is good in that department . But I had small bowel adhesions around the abscess . And they took away more small bowel . I just though I touch base with the dietitian , she told me on my last consultation to expect to lose from now 4 pound a month !!!!
Contacted my team and spoke to the dietition who was fabulous she just thought it my body reacting to the trauma it's received and to up 6 eating times a day high protein ect . And get back again next week if I lose 7 pound . Very reassuring .
