GI Problems Still After Surgery

GI Problems Still After Surgery

I am at a loss as to which step to take next.  I am a 29 year old female, 5'7", 150 pounds, other then injuring my back in my late teens and some minor neurological problems I have always been fairly healthy.  About a year ago now I became very ill while eatting dinner.  After spending the entire night is severe pain I sucked it up and went to the ER.  The ER doc ordered an ultra sound for what he thought was gall stones, the test came back negitive, he diagnoised me with reflux and instructed me to follow up with my primary care doctor.  My primary care doctor then ordered a CT with contrast to yet again rule out gall stone, this test was also negitive.  From there I was sent to the GI doctor who ordered an upper GI and a hida scan.  The cultures from the upper GI were positive for H. Pylori which was treated with a 10 course of super antibiotics and the hida scan showed that my gall bladder was not functioning at all.  From there I was sent to the surgeon who removed my gall bladder laproscopically on 12.30/09.  

Since the surgery the stabbing pain in my upper right quadrant and the bulk of my reflux has subsided.  However over the past seven months I have found it increasingly harder to eat.  I become extremly full after eatting a very small amount.  Sometimes I become nauseas, however I do not vomit.  There is also a lot of presure in my stomach and sometimes a lot of cramping, usually by night time my stomach is double the size it started at in the morning.  I do not notice a difference when switching up the foods that eat.  I hate to think of starting this whole process over again, any suggestions would be appreciated.

There unfortunately can be problems following GB surgery. Many people find they have problems with acid reflux, or in some cases bile reflux. You need to check back with your doc. The symptoms you're describing that include eating little but feeling full sound a bit like gastroparesis which can be 'associated' with bile reflux.
