Hi.
Thanks for your query, read your history and understood your problems.
After the leak and re-stapling after a gastric bypass surgery, there will be development of adhesion or collection and excessive scarification.
All these things give pain, nausea and vomiting.
Yes, you can certainly go for MRI.
Also go for Barium meal studies and see the problems also get assessed if these things can be corrected or not.
Follow the diet and supplements strictly.
