I've been having stomach pain for about a week and I'm not sure why. It kind of feels like a lot of bloating and gas. I've tried hot ginger tea which always helps but not this time...the only thing different I've done is drink coffee after a couple of months with out it....I'm really worried and I hope it isn't a slip because I'm just beginning to lose consistantly (banded 3/7/13...-44 lbs)! :-(

I agree, call doc. Where specifically when you say stomach pain? Is it internal or external? Low or high? Lots of different problems present differently. Pain internal and high can be band pain. If it's external and on your right or left side it could be port pain from infection, abdominal wall soreness, etc. Whenever I have internal band pain I try to relieve it with some liquid motrin. Good luck!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
