  2. Hi all. I had a sleeve five years ago. Lost 110, have kept all but 5-10 pounds off. Surgery was fine and dandy. No issues until July 2020 i have had IBS for as long as I can remember and it got worse this past summer (anxiety issues). So I was taking Imodium a bit more often. I was active as heck this summer riding horses and paddle boarding. Eating fine (yes my stomach has stretched but nothing too crazy). One day after paddle boarding a decent amount, I was having bad gas pain. I suddenly got the worst pain I think I’ve experienced in my life right near one of my incisions. It literally felt like my gut had ripped. I waited a bit before deciding to go to the ER, but I was being woken up by residual pain. I had taken a gas x pill because right after that, I had this feeling like I needed to burp... They did a CT, no leak or obstruction. They diagnosed me with gastritis and moved on ??‍♀️. I was in decent pain for quite a few days after, even on omeprazole. Since then the pain and tightness has not gone away. I feel like I cannot lay on my back with my legs out. It feels like I’ll rip inside. the most curious thing is there is a BALL of something in my stomach area now. A GI nurse said she thinks it’s scar tissue. Said I didn’t need to see a doctor. Nothing came up on an endoscopy. I’m writing because I’m once again having very loose stools, and gassy (burpy feeling included, but I can’t burp???), and quite a bit of pain there. I’m wondering if anyone has had something like this and if it was something that could be fixed? I’m going insane. Thanks all. ETA: with the burping feeling comes a lot of nausea as well.
