So the first time it happened was last night. I am on the mushy food stage, my paper states that I eat three times a day with two Snacks. I had had all three meals slowly through out the day but no snacks. So it was a few hours before bed so I had a Low fat, no sugar cup of pudding. I had only had two tiny bites when both sides of my back right between my shoulder blades and in the breast area of my chest, suddenly started to really hurt. A between a burning and a stabbing pain. For over half an hour it would burn/stab for a minute the stop for thirty seconds. I tried to walk it off, I didn't take another bite of the pudding. But nothing helped. Finally it stopped and I sat back down.

I slept late, got some chores in and didn't eat my tiny Breakfast until noon. At 4:30pm I made a scrambled egg, almost runny, with a little bit of cheese for lunch. I got two tiny bites in when it started again. This time I threw up. What little bit of eggs I ate, some white liquid stuff and drops of blood.

Is this gallbladder? A leak? Gas?

If it happens again, I will call my doctor. Not sure if I should call my PCP or surgeons office. It's the weekend now so I wont get a call back until Monday anyways, unless I just go the ER. And I am not going to the ER unless I am dying. LOL.

Opinions?

Thanks for any help you can give.

I agree. Doesn't sound right. Call your doc & get checked out.

Call the surgeons office- you will get an answering service. They will page the on call doc. I don't think this should wait.

Ack that sounds awful :( First thing I thought of was intense reflux but don't know about the blood. Please keep us posted and I hope whatever it is has a simple solution!

Call surgeons office. Answering service will answer and have the Doc call you. If you do not hear back from doc call service again after 20 minutes. Always better to be safe than sorry. Your PCP will tell you to call the surgeon. The surgeons office will tell you what to do or send you to ER if they feel its warranted. Keep us updated!!! Hope all is well....

I talked to my doctor last night, he said it sounds like Diffuse Esophageal Spasms. And to go back to mostly liquids. liquids hurt going down too, just not nearly as much. So it has nothing to do with my stomach, food isn't even making it that far before coming right back up in the most painful way possible. Great. I wonder when it will be safe to eat again? He didn't say that. And research online basically says that they have no idea what causes is.

Thanks for the support everyone!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
