Glad to hear you're doing well! I had a bowl obstruction in July, 8 months post op, which had to be surgically corrected. Luckily, the ER I went to when I started to have abdominal pain is also where my bariatric center of excellence is, so I was admitted, evaluated and had surgery in less than 24 hours by a doctor I was familiar with. It was laproscopic just like my RNYGB, but I think once they got in the fix was pretty easy, and I healed up in no time. There's a small risk of these complications, I'm glad I had been educated in advance, glad I went to the doctor as soon as I felt something wasn't right. The experience didn't diminish my enthusiasm for having had the surgery - I'd do it all over again.0
