Hi there. Ok 2 months out from RNY. I have followed every rule to a t. I'm down 49.5 pounds. Up until 2 days ago I would say textbook and going great. All the sudden 2-3 days ago I started having pain in my tummy. Constant contracted pain. It's a dull pain not to bad unless I try to eat. Everything I eat bothers my tummy. I can drink milk ok and Water but that's it.

Any thoughts? My first issue I don't want to over react. Thought someone here could maybe help.

Call your surgeon. Could be a lot of things, but better be safe than sorry.

check with your surgeon. Could be a stricture. I had two of them. Easy fix.

a stricture is just overgrown scar tissue. Sometimes it ends up blocking the entrance to the small intestine, so you have some pain when you eat and/or you have a hard time keeping food down. It's an easy fix - they just do an upper endoscopy and stretch it out a bit so the food can go through again. They're a fairly common problem with RNY - my surgeon's office said up to 8% of RNY patients get them. They almost always occur within the first three months after surgery, though. I had one week 4 and another week 8. Haven't had one since (I'm 18 months out now)

Are you taking any kind of acid reducer, like a proton pump inhibitor (protonix, omeprazole, etc)? I went off mine briefly about 5 weeks ago (only for about 3 days) started getting some tummy pain kind of like what you describe, and a couple days after I resumed that med, it went away.

Could well be stenosis like I am suffering with, go check with the doctor's. Good luck.

I am on omeprazole. They suspect a stricture. We will see in the am.

Oh, ok. Well good luck, hope it goes well and I hope they're able to get you feeling better very soon?

Could also be an internal hernia, I had bad pain, contracting, 5 months out and that is what my surgeon suspects is the cause.
