A member asked:
What do you advise if i'm having severe pain in my upper right abdomen after having a vagatomy done last year. could an mri help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Slow gastric emptyin: Vagotomy is performed when acid production in the stomach can not be reduced by other means. The purpose of the procedure is to disable the acid-producing capacity of the stomach. It is used when ulcers in the stomach and duodenum do not respond to medication and changes in diet. Most common complication is slow gastric emptying. Gastroesophageal reflux, pain, bloating, and loss of appetite.
