I had Roux En Y surgery early Sept '19 for bile reflux. Not for weight loss, but to get the excess bile out of my stomach which was starting to go up the esophagus. Then I had an adverse reaction to the heavy antibiotics they put me on which again was a new issue I hadn't planned on. Anyway, I thought the surgery had done its job.....I started to gain weight back, enjoyed foods that before caused me issues, and generally felt good about what it appeared to have accomplished. About 5 days ago I noticed some symptoms coming back again......heavy bloating, nausea, no desire to eat, and just a general sick feeling. My GP had me do a stool test pronto, which now shows a bacterial imbalance. I will do a breath test for SIBO tomorrow, but as one can imagine, I am really scared about these symptoms coming back as I dealt with them for many months prior to my surgery. My GP says that a surgery like this can really alter how the gut works now that bile acid is no longer getting into the stomach. I wish my surgeon had told me this, but alas I was sent on my way. And of course antibiotics are first line methods to treat this which scares me given the reaction I had to cipro and flagyl post surgery. Curious if anyone has dealt with post roux en y and had issues come up. The mental part is setting in for me.....I can't imagine going through all the medical stuff again given what I did last year leading to the surgery.
