1 year post op still have occasional random discomfort

I am 1 year post op bypass. A few times a week I will get a twinge often to the right of my belly button, sometimes in other places like higher up towards the stomach. It is not immediately after eating. I wouldn't say it is pain just a fairly quick ache or twinge. I am thinking it's maybe gas or part of the digestion process. I can't find that its related to a certain food or activity. I think I am still at the mind set where I am physically reminded of my surgery and maybe it's just something I pay attention to.

Has anyone had this? I don't think it's a medical issue it's been ever since surgery so nothing new. Does anyone else feel anything on a weekly basis. I don't remember ever feeling digestive little cramps or discomfort before surgery unless I was ill.

Right quadrant = most likely gallbladder sludge


I’ve had mine out years ago. I never had these twinges after that surgery, only after the bypass.

I am 2 yrs out and finally the weird non stop stomach sounds and weird pains and twinges have went away just give it time. Your still getting usta ur body. I am 2 yrs out and still amazed and think of something that involves my wls.

I'm almost exactly a year out and get the random twinges you mention. I think it's partly because I pay much more attention to anything going on in my digestive tract than I did before. In addition, I seem to have much more frequent gas pains at this point than I did perhaps six months ago--not sure why.
