1 year post op and odd gut pains

So off and on I have extreme pain in gut, in the center below the breasts bone. I am ok when I am sitting or laying down. When I stand or move I have a sharp pain. I was having diarrhea off and on, which i got from a trip to mexico, at least that’s what I thought. Have you had something similar? what was it? anything I can do, I can’t get to doctor for a while.

    Is it relieved with tums or pepto bismol? I had pain in the same spot that would come randomly and be severe and it turned out it was a hernia. (Pre wls) I wonder if it could be an ulcer?

  • Glad you finally got things straightened out! The fact they all live in the same area is no real excuse for faulty diagnostic skills!

  • Like they were a commitee & all spouting the "commitee line".

the pain doesn’t feel like a stomach pain it feels like in my intestines, pepto will give you an ulcer and it doesn’t feel like heart burn or gas, i bet it is a hernia, is there anything I can do I am having a hard time working on my feet

So so true, one of my apps says "Your gut knows things your Brain has not yet comprehended" Your body has a wisdom if you but listen . Look at me , I fought with my Bariatric clinic, they kept telling me I had pist- operat8ve swelling and I was expecting too much too soon. I was right, my body knew, I had a bad stricture in my RNY pouch, ulcers there and I'm my jejunem. I had l8ved in this body for many years, I knew innately something was very wrong.
Stay well, stay healthy and have a Wonderful Day!
