  1. . No I do not have a gallbladder. I have had several abdominal surgeries but the Gastrologist also did not find any adhesions.
  2. Dr. Kuhn was my surgeon. I am 6 years out from my surgery date. Last year I started having pain in the diaphragm area. I have been having this pain for a full year now still same area. My gastrologist has run test, scope, untrasound, CT scan. checked the upper colon duct and pancreas and has found nothing that would indicate why I am having this pain. Last year I had a pacemaker installed and my surgeon told me that my pain I had (between the breast) was probably not where I was having my pain. He told me my pain was in the diaphragm and that it was probably Acid Reflux. I have had acid reflux years before my RNY surgery. Since I had lost 165 pounds I no longer have had any reflux at all since 1-1/2 yrs after my surgery. I never had any pain associated with the reflux. I went ahead like my heart surgeon said and got back on my meds for reflux and it has not helped at all. I have been on 2 different scripts and 3 different over the counter meds. I am still having the pain. Strange thing is I only have the pain any where from 1 - 5 times a month. August, I hurt 5 times during the month,Sept, 2 times, Oct. 2 times. I have been unable to pin point it to any food. I have always hurt during the night, the pain would wake me up, but in Sept. and Oct. I would hurt during the day and would feel a little nauseous but not throw up. The Gastrologist told me he has done all he can do except exploratory surgery. Since I am only hurting 1 to 5 times a month I am not willing to do that yet. Have any other patients every complained of this type of pain? I have an appointment coming up to see Dr. Kuhn the end of the month. Wondering if you could give me some suggestions of what type of questions to ask him. Would this pain have anything to do with the pouch? Thank You.
