KK, I am a little over a year out Roux en Y, nothing major happened, had a few strictures, and then gallbladder out in march, no biggie, was expected....

PROBLEM the past few days is a horrible bloated feeling right below xyphoid process (breast bone), pain is ridiculous, and I look prego, thought I was backed up, took some laxatives, cleaned out and pain and bloat still there, upper abdomen is hard and distened, I have nausea but that is from the pain,

I have a call out to surgeon, same surgeon did both surgeries, I think I need a EGD, also the pain goes into my back, kidney area, but I dont believe its kidneys, no fever or anything that would suggest infection, blood work from another issue was all WNL...

Has ne1 else had this happen

    I've never had that happen, but I am only 7 weeks out from my RnY. Keep calling your surgeon and or your primary care physician until you can get someone to see you.

    maybe a visit to the ER if the pain is too bad. that is what they are there for. Better than having something really serious happen during the night. At least they could run some tests for your surgeon to see first thing in the morning.

    Wow, I guess I should be reading the message boards more frequently. For the past week I have been having severe abdominal pain/cramping that radiated around to my lower back (kidney area) and Thursday when I just couldn't stand the pain any longer I went to the doctor. Doctor thinks possible "diverticulitis" so orders a CT for the next day. Next day go for CT in the early afternoon and by late afternoon, I'm getting call for doctor saying it's not diverticulitis after all but a "internal abdominal hernia" and requires surgery within the next week!

    So, if you haven't done so already please go see your doctor asap! We have worked to hard at getting healthy to get sick. Good luck.:flowerforyou:
