I was sleeved January 9th 2013 and everything was going great and then on February 16th I started having a pain in my stomach like someone punched me whenever I ate or drank anything and I mean ANYTHING. I went from eating 6 small meals a day to a couple of bites every other day just so I wouldn't have to feel the pain. It has since increase in not only frequentcy but it happens without me having to be eating or drinking. I have had sooo many tests done to find the source. Nothing but gallstones or so they thought. Two weeks ago I had them removed along with my galbladder. Today was my two weeks followup. The pain is still there. My surgeon is all out of answers and seem very confused by my stomach pain. His only answer was that this may have to be my new normal...What!!! Nothing normal about this punched in the gut pain. I will waste away to nothing. I need some relief. Anyone have any answers or have the same issue??? On the bright side being almost 4 months out, I have lost 56 pounds.

Wow. Scary! I hope you get an answer and RELIEF soon.

so sorry you are going thru this--I would definitely seek out a 2nd opinion.

Have you seen a gastro? And, I assume your white cell count is normal... No indicator of inflammation or infection? You've probably searched the web for surgical complications associated with any surgery involving the digestive tract.

What about auto-immune conditions? Does it run in your family? Have you ruled out auto-immune issues?

What about a CT scan? If you haven't had one yet, I'd ask for one. Pain like that is NOT something anyone should expect you to accept. Don't give up!
