I'm 3 1/2 months post op and I have fairly regular gastrointestinal pain. It feels like unyeilding pressure. It makes me think that it's gas, but I'm not sure. Sometimes certain things like lying down, moving around, or curling up in a ball relieves it, but sometimes it doesn't. I'm fine until the pressure hits. Then I'm absolutely miserable. I get overheated and I start to panic a little when I can't get it to stop. Anyone else having this issue?

You need to discuss this with your surgeon.

I'm 20 days post op .. and I'm expecting this type of pain to . It's so weird I can lay down and not feel it and then get up and it's there .. what I have done was to message my back and middle chest area . But if I start to freak out I go take pain medicine and boom gone

That's why I have the pain medicine for pain !!!

Definitely need to see a doctor for this. It may be nothing but garden variety gas or constipation, or it might be something more. But if it has been happening regularly, it's time to go get it checked out.

It kind of sounds like a gallstone attack to me. But I am not a doctor, I just had gallstones and know what that felt like before they got REALLY bad pain-wise and that's similar to my experience.

I'm thinking gallstones but I'm not a doctor nor do I play one on TV!! Definitely call the surgeon

due to the closeness of your surgery, it's probably what the surgical nurse called at my place epigastric pain...part if recovery and thus the pain meds help. Poster is a lot further from their surgery so it's not as likely the same thing.... but I'm not a doctor so who knows for sure..
