What Causes Abdominal Pain After A Gastric Bypass Surgery?

hello I am Sue, I had the gastric bypass surgery back 7 years ago twice for he messed up the first time. Awful experience, endoscopes ,pick lines, no doctor would touch me while mine was on vacation so Boise Idaho had to just keep me alive until he got back. Then another surgery and i look like i was shot in the stomach 8 times with all the scars from the second surgery due to infection with the drainage tubes. Never the less, got through it, i live i Las Vegas now and had issues at work as a 25 yr plus certified personal banker. Not one doctor could help so i went to USLA and did the DOPA PET SVAN and have a tumor frontal lobe, split brain fluid leaks with horrible headaches and with cancer on it. Inoperable or i would be paralyzed on left side. OK so i managed to get through all of this, Angel Flights, constant scans to watch for glioma growth, then my family and i had issues, mom in last days refuses to see me..blah blah blah..Now a pain when i get upset about 1 maybe 2 inches from belly button feels like a knife is jamming into be until i get myself calmed down and it hurts for a while then i take a valium and rest. I have lost a lot of weight pretty fast past few months i am 5 7 and 112lbs. Where did my boobs go and my skin is sagging on arms and legs and tummy. I look gross. I have no muscles mass and have not been able to see doctor because of Medicare taking over then they dropped me due to i did not want to have them take it from my disability and that i personally would pay it. so now i have to start over. This pain is on my left side where the new stomach was done. Should i be concerned? Never mind.. I get disability and can barely make it and i am about to be a homeless well educated woman who worked and paid my way and now either have insurance at the cost i can not afford or have a roof over my head so i choose that. Disregard this email for i do not have any money to pay you. I am very sorry for wasting your time.
