Suggest Remedy To Stop Digestive Problems Due To Tummy Tuck

digestive problems of stomach muscle pulled too tight s my tummy tuck two years ago, i ve had a strong pressure against the middle of my stomach and loss of apitite. I felt this just hours after my surgery. I am now having serious digestive problems. All food I eat stops just above the tight pressure in the middle of my stomach. It s as if my digestive track is being closed off. It takes hours and hours for the slightest piece of food to digest. Liquids are easier to digest . Most times I have to bring the food up because it just will not go down. Did not have this problem before. I ve been checked for other problem that it could be. No luck. This has brought my life to a screeching halt. Please say I m not crazy. I am in desperate need of help. I m 48 yrs old, other health issues but don t think related. High blood pressure, iritable bowl . I m 4 11 126 lbs. I lost 55 lbs after surgery. Not hard because I have had no appitite since the surgery. Have you heard of this before?

Hello,

The most common underlying cause is low stomach capacity after surgery. In our clinic, we recommend diagnostic evaluation with upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy; along with primary care from bolus foods at intervals, digestive enzymes with probiotics for supportive measures.



Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
