I’m sorry your sister- in- law hasn’t recovered from the surgery. You said many tests have been done and all normal.
Did they do another CT angio to check the celiac artery?
After my latest intervention the pain disappeared at once but it took time before nausea, loss of appetite and fullness feeling improved. After 2 years I still don’t have good appetite and I can’t eat the same amount of food.
I have never heard of psychological issues.
Is she losing weight? Dehydrated, weak? Does she see a gastroenterologist?
Just hoping she had another CT angio.

My brother found an article on John Hopkins website Hopkins medicine.org (I wasn’t able to add the link). It’s titled The Brain-Gut Connection. I think it might be helpful to others on this platform.

Yes She had a CT angio - celiac artery was fine. She has a gastroenterologist who can’t figure out why she can not keep food down. After surgery she couldn’t keep food down then went home on a liquid diet hoping to move to soft foods. It never happened. It’s been 1 1/2 months since surgery. She’s now back in the hospital on a feeding tube to give her nutrients while they try to figure out why she still can’t keep food down. Anything she takes in, goes down and comes back up, even liquids.
