Gaining weight 5 years after gastric sleeve

Patient's Query

Why am I gaining weight five years after my gastric sleeve surgery?

Gastroenterologyy

Answered by Dr. Harsh Sheth

You may be gaining weight because of a stretched stomach pouch or an enlarged gastric sleeve opening. Other causes, including hormonal changes or lack of healthy diet and physical activities may also play a role. I suggest contacting a bariatric specialist to address the problem and determine possible solutions.

Sir I have pain in my stomach but in my empty stomach I get blood through sputum and after that my headaches and I'm not able. To eat any proper food

Female | 22

Coughing blood, headaches, and difficulty eating - these signs suggest a stomach issue. An ulcer or inflammation could be the culprit. Ignoring it risks bigger problems, so see a doctor soon. For now, spicy or acidic foods may worsen symptoms, so choose easy-to-digest meals instead. Stay hydrated by drinking lots of water.

Female | 21

The lower abdomen pain you are going through is pretty uncomfortable. Your symptoms are concerning and it's essential to address them. The pain, diarrhea, and the urge to pass stool after your period can be caused by different reasons like pelvic inflammatory disease or endometriosis. It's advisable to get medical help from a gastroenterologist for a correct diagnosis and treatment plan.

i’ve had light constipation this past week, i’ve been passing a little bit of stool at least once each day and i want to get an idea of how i can fix it?

Female | 17

You have mild constipation. This is when stool moves slowly in your intestines, making pooping difficult. Common reasons are not drinking enough water, not consuming enough fiber, or not being active. To fix this, drink more water. Eat fruits and vegetables. Move your body by walking or exercising regularly. Constipation makes bowel movements difficult. Mild cases can be alleviated with simple lifestyle changes.

Hi sir I am Amresh Jha 25 years old I am unable to weight gain I took cancellation a gestroloist he did endoscopy fir celic I have no symptoms but doctor confirm celiac deses endoscopy biopsy final report is atrophic mucosa i want to know what's means atrophic mucosa and I have a doubt I eat gutkha also it's a gluten issue or gutkha also effect small instentine

Male | 25

The "atrophic mucosa" means the lining of your gut is unhealthy. Eating gutkha can hurt your gut, but it does not relate to gluten. With celiac disease, you may have diarrhea, weight loss, and feel tired. The fix is following a strict no-gluten diet. This means avoiding foods with wheat, barley, and rye. By doing this, your gut can heal up and you will feel better overall.

Male | 23

It is first critical to establish the underlying cause of excessive bilirubin in the body to lower bilirubin levels. In certain instances, water intake increase or alcohol and fatty food avoidance would be a good choice. Yet, in a lot of instances, medicated intervention becomes inevitable. I would suggest seeing a gastroenterologist for a comprehensive diagnosis and personalized treatment options.

After gallbladder surgery, it's important to focus on taking care of yourself. While it might be tempting, it's best to avoid using cannabis during your recovery.

Gulping down Clingen Forte's tablet inadvertently is a source of alarm. It is composed of Clotrimazole that can cause dizziness, discomfort, nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, and diarrhea. Please, tell your family doctor or the nearest hospital emergency room if you feel any of these signs.

You have something in your stomach called a "safety pin stay," which isn't normal. This can cause pain, discomfort, or a strange feeling in your belly. You might have accidentally swallowed a safety pin or something similar. It's important to see a gastroenterologist, who will likely suggest an X-ray and possibly a procedure to safely remove the object, preventing any further issues.

Hello! I have a problem with my stomach - constant bloating and nausea, sometimes blood in stool, there are times when i’m super bloated and it really hurts. I visited a gastroentrologist yesterday, he sent me for some tests and saw a 10 mm cyst on my ovary. Whatever I eat causes pain and nausea. I have an appointment with a gynaecologist this week.

Female | 25

Experiencing discomfort is tough. Bloating, nausea, blood in stool, and pain when eating – those symptoms can stem from various causes. A cyst pressing on your stomach may be the culprit. Consulting a gynecologist is wise. They have the expertise to pinpoint the issue and recommend suitable treatment.
