I'm three months post and am still having abdominal pain/discomfort almost constantly. Its a feeling somewhere between "gut rot" and extreme gas. At first I was told it was stomach acid, but I've been on two different meds and I still feel awful. I saw my surgeon who claims it has nothing to do with the surgery. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

Get a second opinion. Do you drink carbonation drinks? The can do it too. But go get checked before something little turns into something big.

Where exactly is your pain?

The pain is the area around my belly button in general... so mid abdomen.

I'm 4 month post op and have no pain at all, just mild discomfort from time to time if I overeat. I think you should see someone else and get a 2nd opinion.

Good Luck

This is not a fun question , but are you regular? Could it be that kind of problem? Bandsters don't do this as often since we have a hard time getting our veggies, fiber, and eat less food. I know I don't feel good when I'm not, so I keep up on taking a probiotic and this helps a lot. Some on here take regular stool softeners or fiber supplements, but I'm not getting into that setup, never worked too good for me in the past, not doing it now.
