Hi all,

I'm 3 1/2 months out & I've been having a weird feeling in my stomach. It's tender and almost like an ache. It's hard to explain it & I'm getting a little freaked out. I can't get ahold of my surgeon & I'm not too sure on what to do?

Anyone else have issues this far out & have experienced the same? I am also still very bloated, not too sure what's going on there either!

Thank you,

Acid? Indigestion I'm sure you're eating different foods now. that can be the culprit new tummies sometimes don't do as well when you're reintroducing foods. Stick to one at a time.. I couldn't eat eggs initially

I had this reaction initially with milk. Also acid can be a tricky thing and can act different for everyone. Are you takin an antacid?

Hi Molly, where exactly is the ache and tenderness located?

Thanks ladies!

Chittick, I take 2 40mg of Prilosec a day. It doesn't feel like acid but, very well could be.

Soocal, I still have that swallowing thing too. It's like my swallowing isn't smooth!? Dr. said, it's most likely nothing...SIGH.

Wags, it's below my breast bone & down a little. Not really a burning feeling just tender & a little sore.

The hard swallowing will get better I always felt like in had to swallow hard to get even saliva down.

Do you have your gallbladder? The pain doesn't sound typical for that, but it does radiate to that spot.

It's really obvious when I forget to take my 2nd dose of Prilosec! Did you ever feel like it was rough or chunky? Sorry, gross!

I still have it, UH OH! What are the other symptoms?

Here are some of the symptoms:

Pain or tenderness under the rib cage on the right side

Pain between shoulder blades

Stools light or chalky colored

Fatty stools

Indigestion after eating, especially fatty or greasy foods

Nausea

Dizziness

Bloating

Gas

Burping or belching

Feeling of fullness or food not digesting

Diarrhea (or alternating from soft to watery)

Constipation

Headache over eyes, especially right

Bitter Fluid comes up after eating

Frequent use of laxatives

Rapid weight loss is one of the causes.

Thank you so much Wags! I've been googling it all night & I'm wondering if I'm just constipated!?

You're welcome. I hope it's something simple like that :-)
