Hi all, I’m 4 months post op from gastric bypass surgery. All has been going well until recently. I’ve been getting awful pain in the right of my chest (like under my breast) and also over onto the shoulder blade. It feels like it gets worse after eating. It will be so uncomfortable, achey and even start tingling sensations. I’ve had a barium swallow test, which showed no issue, an ECG to check my heart and also a gallbladder scan. All tests came back normal. Does anybody else have any ideas for me? Thanks in advance, Kirsty

The pain does occur more after eating or drinking, but it’s much higher up. It’s like behind my right breast and right shoulder blade. It’ll tingle, ache and generally just hurt like crazy. Im seeing my surgeon on Saturday so hopefully he can sort me out. I’ll mention my gallbladder again just in case too! Thank you again. X

Thank you both for your replies. I’m worried now thinking they missed something with my gallbladder. I had the ultrasound 31st December (so not that long ago) and the pain was just as bad then. They said there were no issues with it. I’ve had blood tests too. I’m also not getting any pain in my upper abdomen. Honestly I’m just annoyed that I can’t get any answers

Thanks for your reply! It’s annoying isn’t it not knowing the reason! I’m glad your pain has been relieved. My surgeon mentioned it may be an esophagal motility issue but haven’t explored that yet so who knows. Seeing him on Saturday anyway. I hope this goes like yours
