6 weeks post op on Tues, right upper abdominal pain

[nhnurse1 108]

For the past 24 hours I have been having the dull aching pain in the right upper quadrant of my abdomen just underneath my ribcage. It is a nagging pain that seems to come on a couple hours or so after eating. I called the surgeon on call and he told me to do liquids or pureed foods for the next 24 hours to see how it goes. I do not have a gallbladder it was removed long ago. Has anyone had anything similar to this happen, he suggested it could be a problem with the opening in my pouch? Any thoughts?

I have pain in the same place and I will be 4 wks out on Wednesday. Mine is definitely muscle. I still have a hard time sitting for very long.

I have also heard of people getting what they call a stricture. That is when your opening is being blocked by scar tissue, I believe.

I don't think mine is muscular it definitely seems to be aggravated by eating. I do not however, have any nausea or vomiting. I guess we will see what my surgeon says when I talk to him tomorrow.

My surgeon didn't think much about it but at 12 weeks post op, I ended up in the hospital with a very large ulcer.
