Thank you for your information and what you say sounds like what it could be. I am amazed at the amount of referred pain possibilities with this surgery. Lets just hope it goes away after the stomach has had time to stop swelling and relaxes on the nerve and it all goes away. If it doesnt and this is a pain i get every time I eat, well be far and few between meals. I see dr. on monday to discuss further. again thank you for your help. :scared2:

I am only 2 weeks post op and not really eating anything yet still mostly liquids. I am how ever slowly moving to really soft foods such as pudding and a scrambled egg. Anyways as I am eating or after such I get a severe pain in my face. Best way to describe this is it feels as if I have a major sinus infection and I can feel it all the way into my teeth. After surgery I had a headache that felt like that and after a few days went away, but now that when I try to introduce food into my system the facial pain comes back. I have done my share of research and find little about this, but have looked up referred pain. (how on part of your body can hurt and it could be a whole different area that needs attention. i.e. shoulder pain can be referred pain because of the nerve in the abdomen that the fill port is next too.) So has anyone else had this issue or is it that I may just have a sinus infection? anyways its uncomfortable and it needs to go away. :scared2:
