Abdominal Pain !! this is what I am facing since last week. I am worried about pouch ulcer. As pain is constant and even if I eat, its pain. Going to see Dr ( family DR) tomorrow. And then sonography. But till then I will be in delima about abdominal pain.

Pain just started last week. ( No new food introduce, no oily or sugary food taken) Still wonder why I have pain.

What could be the reason???

I am 9 month post op...MGB.

Any Idea? Any one had such constant abdominal pain??

Ulcer, gallbladder, constipation.. there are several common causes of abdominal pain that could be related to the surgery.

Hope it's a simple fix!

Thanks Berry78.

So I removed my gallbladder after 5 months of surgery and I do not have Constipation. So next is Ulcer I guess :(

It is important to know where the pain is emanating from. Is it the left side of your stomach or the right? Upper stomach or lower. There is a lot of research out there about stomach pains. I was starting to suffer with bouts of Constipation, and was getting pains on the right side by my belly button. I knew it was either that or the gall bladder, but once I started consuming more veggies, it went away and never returned.

Anyway, google 'stomach pain by location'. You can possibly narrow it down, but none of that can take the place of having your doctor run tests to find out the exact cause of the problem. I see that you have an appointment tomorrow, so I'm sure that you will get the answer that you seek shortly.

Good Luck!

Any update? And are you taking a PPI (e.g. Omeprazole/Prilosec), or consuming anything that could lead to an ulcer like NSAIDs (aspirin, Advil, Aleve, Celebrex, etc), coffee, alcohol, smoking? I hope you figure this out and feel better soon!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
