You should get checked out by your doc. In the meantime, if the pain becomes severe, go to the ER, since it could be a bowel obstruction or hernia.
Recently there was a bypass patient that had to get surgery for a Petersen's defect. It is a fairly rare complication of the bypass, and it can happen anytime postop (even 13 years).
Hopefully it's nothing, just some Constipation, but better safe than sorry...

About 4 years after my gastric bypass I started having horrible stabbing pains. I went to the ER several times, and they were convinced I had an ulcer. Finally went to the ER in the hospital I had my bypass in. The nurse took one look at me, and said I was being admitted. I had a common bile duct stone that was leftover after my bypass/gall bladder removal, and it had moved and was blocking 3/5 of my liver functioning...and I had developed jaundice.
I've also developed kidney stones since my bypass, which has been fun.

Good luck. Hope you are out of pain soon!

Thank you so much for the reply! That's the issue, I started off with diarrhea for 24 hours and now nothing. So no blocks as everything was moving through quite fine...
