It could be a hernia. I got mine fixed during surgery, but everything you described as your symptoms is what I felt.
On the other hand I also have gallbladder issues, it was inflamed at one time and that only gave me back pain. Now I have stones that's a mixture of a lot of different symptoms but not all at the same times. Back pain is one, nausea, stomach pain. Those are some I experienced with gallbladder symptoms. I went to my pcp explained my symptoms and she right away ordered blood work and ultrasound. Maybe check in with your doctor?

I had my gallbladder out and a hiatal hernia repair all at the same time, so I really don't know how to differentiate the sensations between the two.

I would speak to your surgeon about it. My doctor found a tiny hietal hernia while inside my abdomen and fixed it before performing the sleeve. I knew nothing about it until I woke up. He said he fixed it so as not to cause acid reflux in the future. I'm 8 days post op and have had zero problems.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
