Lounge Doctors. **UPDATE** surgery is complete.

My husband has been having trouble keeping food down for months now. He has dropped below 130 pound now. His Gastroenterologist scoped both ends last month and ran a bunch of other test with no findings. So today we went in for a ultrasound on his tummy. We have not heard anything from his Doctor yet. I was looking over the technicians shoulder as she wrote her notes. She wrote that he appears to have a occlusion in his SMA.

I googled it and came back with Occluded Superior Mesenteric Artery Has anyone ever heard of this. It sounds like the cure is some sort of surgery to fix it. Tell me I'm wrong. Pray

cupcake hug I know how stressful it is. My son had 18" of his small intestine removed in May and was in the hospital 40 days until June. Did many postings from his hospital room.

As hard as it is to do right now....you need your rest too before I knew it my clothes were hanging on me because I wasn't eating right.

Oh my! 18" removed! EEK! I'm thinking my DH will just need a stent put in. :fingercrossed: What was wrong with his small intestine? How long did it take to figure out what it was?
