Hello...I'm 2 yrs post gastric bypass and 5 months pregnant and have been having some bad upper abdominal pain that starts right under the center if my breasts and radiates on both sides...I've been to ER twice and both times they found nothing ....the last time he gave me Maalox and said possible Gerd or ulcer ....I have an appt with ob tomorrow. ..I mentioned it at my last appt because it had happened one time prior and she said everything looked good not to worry but now it's happened at least 7 times and it gets bad but then goes away ...any ideas???

Hello:

Have you had your gallbladder checked? I hope whatever it is that it goes away. Please let us know what the doctor says.

Good luck!

I am not pregnant but have had those terrible pains as well. It's gas. Gas some how makes it back up to your pouch but for some reason gets stuck. For me I could drink but the pain was still there. So what I have realized is that the more you move around the less often it happens. Both times it happened to me I had been sitting a lot that day. Alot of the foods we eat after surgery ate protein and with protein comes gas... I use the strip that dissolve in you mouth, and drink water with them. Maalox works the fastest for relief, and the chewable tablets are good to eat after you know you've eaten something that had a lot of protein in it, mainly dairy based. Hope this was helpful.

Oh yeah they mint flavored strip to help freshen breath, I use the gas strip instead of breath mints regularly.

Gallbladder check needed for sure, although I'm sure they must have done that in the ER, no?

I need help I had gastric bypass a years ago and I found I am pregnant today n I went to the hospital to make sure if I am really pregnant or no but they told me yes your pregnant but we can't see the baby at all, I need to know isn't too early to get pregnant after just one years or by not seeing the baby mean I can have miscarriage? I am so worried thank you all
