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.

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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
