• Abdominal Pain

  She acutely presented to our emergency department with abdominal pain and melena. She was diagnosed with an actively bleeding anastomotic ulcer in the efferent jejunal limb. [sages.org]

  The usual complaint is upper abdominal pain, which is often aggravated by eating and improved by antacids. In some patients, the pain is felt more to the left in the epigastrium, and left axillary or shoulder pain is occasionally reported. [for-surgeons.com]

  Blind loop syndrome (sometimes called stasis syndrome or stagnant loop syndrome) - this affects digestion and absorption, causing: Bloating, loss of appetite, abdominal pain and nausea. Fatty stools (steatorrhoea). Diarrhoea with weight loss. [patient.info]

  Early Dumping syndrome (fast heartbeat, nausea, vomiting, fainting, sweating and diarrhea) is often a side effect of the operation. Adhering to a sugar free diet will aid in minimizing this syndrome. [alweightlosscenter.com]

Her initial workup at the outside facility included a Computer Tomography (CT) scan and a nuclear medicine bleeding scan, both of which did not reveal any acute pathology. [omicsonline.org]

• Gastric Fistula

  A high acid milieu can arise from a dilated gastric reservoir or, in the setting of a gastro-gastric fistula, the acid produced in the gastric remnant can reflux into the gastric pouch via the fistula and break down the mucosal integrity. [bariatrictimes.com]

  As an AU could not be detected further diagnostic investigations were performed: Upper gastrointestinal (GI) contrast series revealing a small gastric pouch without signs of a gastric fistula and normal passage. [bmcsurg.biomedcentral.com]

  Further investigation was carried out by means of an upper GI series that revealed a sharpened contrast passage through the anastomosis; there was no gastro-gastric fistula. [aischannel.com]
