Hello everyone. My name is Ankit and I am from India.
I was recently diagnosed by MALS in CT scan test.
My symptoms are not classic MALS symptoms but as follows
1)Feel too full after eating/drinking very minimal food/liquid intake, 2) Feel very heavy/tightening/pulling inward in stomach after having food. 3) Feel weak/sluggish/difficulty walking and brain fog after having food/liquids. 4) Takes long hours of time to digest even very small quantity of food. 5) Lot of gas/flatuence happens after long hours of eating 6) Constipation. 7) Severe weight loss

Are my symptoms in line with MALS?

My doctors are not very sure, if we should go for surgery or not. Kindly help. Can laproscopic surgery help in my case. Request to please help

My doctors her

I too have not all my symptoms are classic either. Mals pals is a great group to join on face book. Lots of people have what we have. We try to share our stories and help each other. Have you had the celiac plexus block yet? That test pretty much determines if you’re a good candidate for the surgery.
