shellbell33081 115 Posted August 14, 2012 I am almost 4 months post-op and for the most part I am doing well. However, I have started having trouble eating, even things that were going down fine. I have moderate pain and discomfort after eating. The pain is from below my sternum to my belly button. Any ideas or has anyone else had this trouble? I take prilosec everyday. Even Water hurts mildly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peppersleeve 1 Posted August 14, 2012 This sounds like something you need to ask your doctor about. Four months out you should not have that kind of pain. Are you able to have regular bowel movments? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lollyfidy1965 402 Posted August 14, 2012 Call your surgeon, to make sure you haven't developed a stricture. Be well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DEZ1975 170 Posted August 15, 2012 Could be a structure. Sounds like what my mom had. Easy enough to fix though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
