My pouch has been bothering me for a few days. The pain is internal and at my sternum. At first I thought maybe something got stuck but it wasn't as excruciating as when food is stuck and it's been persistent for 3 days. Any ideas?

Have you tried laying flat, and deep breathes. If not, that would be my 2 cents

Might have it checked for an ulcer.

Have you been drinking alcohol? A friend of mine was drinking and smoking a lot, rather early on and she developed an ulcer at the top opening of her pouch. Needed surgery to repair.

Agreed. Definitely call your doctor they will either give you encouragement or take a look at you. But I would be suspicious of an ulcer. Good luck!

I hope you feel better & hope I

It's nothing major.

Do you take prevacid or pepcid or nexuum? Maybe you need one of those, i have been taking nexium since my rny in 2004 because without it I get that pain your describing.
