Abdominal Pain !! this is what I am facing since last week. I am worried about pouch ulcer. As pain is constant and even if I eat, its pain. Going to see Dr ( family DR) tomorrow. And then sonography. But till then I will be in delima about abdominal pain.

Pain just started last week. ( No new food introduce, no oily or sugary food taken) Still wonder why I have pain.

What could be the reason???

I am 9 month post op...MGB.

Any Idea? Any one had such constant abdominal pain??

Ulcer, gallbladder, constipation.. there are several common causes of abdominal pain that could be related to the surgery.

Hope it's a simple fix!

Thanks Berry78.

So I removed my gallbladder after 5 months of surgery and I do not have Constipation. So next is Ulcer I guess :(

It is important to know where the pain is emanating from. Is it the left side of your stomach or the right? Upper stomach or lower. There is a lot of research out there about stomach pains. I was starting to suffer with bouts of Constipation, and was getting pains on the right side by my belly button. I knew it was either that or the gall bladder, but once I started consuming more veggies, it went away and never returned.

Anyway, google 'stomach pain by location'. You can possibly narrow it down, but none of that can take the place of having your doctor run tests to find out the exact cause of the problem. I see that you have an appointment tomorrow, so I'm sure that you will get the answer that you seek shortly.

Good Luck!

Any update? And are you taking a PPI (e.g. Omeprazole/Prilosec), or consuming anything that could lead to an ulcer like NSAIDs (aspirin, Advil, Aleve, Celebrex, etc), coffee, alcohol, smoking? I hope you figure this out and feel better soon!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
