I got a bowel obstruction from my gastric sleeve and had to have another surgery 2 days later

ottosgirl
I lost 20 lbs right away. I'm about 6 weeks out and I still can't tolerate most foods without reflux or heartburn. I also always seem to be hungry could that complication be responsible for my current problems. My dr said he's done thousands of gastric sleeves and I was the first pt to have this problem. Apparently the Intestines herniated through the camera hole.
