pain
"After a gastric bypass 7 yrs. ago, have required 5 major small bowel resections, tube feedings, TPN.  Have had GI bleeds, ulcers, obstructions.  Taking the Hydrocodone elixir 30 min. before a meal allows me to eat approximately 3-4 ounces of soft foods without doubling over in pain.  It is like an exposed nerve in my gut without it.  Also have to use a Fentanyl patch for long-term relief.  Biggest mistake in my life was the Gastric Bypass.  I went from 274 to 115 and am now underweight and still losing."
