Do you believe these problems are related to your surgery? If so, you should see your post-op team or read government publications that document changes in health following surgery. If not, well, there's really no way to compare yourself to someone else unless you BOTH go to the same doctor and have the same exams and tests. Can you say more?

I know that these problems were related to my gastric bypass. Petersen Defect. Look it up. I had emergency surgery at 2 am. I had a large internal hernia, bowel obstruction, and a hole in my bowel.
Also… I wasn’t comparing any illnesss or problems to Bariatric surgery. If I had been, I would have named a specialist problem. I was simply asking if anyone that has bariatric surgery more then 3 years ago had any problem. Nothing specific… therefore nothing to compare.

The only way I can help you is to say I'm sorry for the problems. I have not had the surgery yet. I will need to look at Petersen Defect. I'm so sorry you had to have an emergent surgery for a hernia. I wish you well soon!
