HIDA Scan Negative...what could it be??

Thank you so much for the kind words... my surgeon's nurse left me a voicemail that the HIDA scan turned up negative gall bladder functioning well yayyyy ...But she goes on to say my surgeon wants to refer me back to Dr Zamir (GI Doc) that just did an EDG (doc said my pouch it perfectly fine, normal size and he sees no signs of ulcer like my surgeon assumed and said I should be ably to eat+ not b/s following his orders the next day had me in pain after eating few spoons of egg salad & 2 saltine crackers) and he had me get an ultrasound of my abdomen, liver and GB (supposedly it came back fine, no gall stones) so why would I need to see the GI doc again for a "scoping of my stomach"...Am I missing something, wasn't that what the EGD & Ultrasound was for or is there another type of scope I don't know of ?? Please advise b/c I honestly see no reason in going back to GI doc!! I'm just sick & tired of going back forth to these docs office paying a $35 specialist copay and who knows what their going to bill me for in regards to deductibles and they aren't finding anything...this sucks . 

However, I'm glad HIDA scan was negative b/c I didn't want to have to do surgery to remove my gall bladder. So I seen my new PCP yesterday and he told me more than likely the HIDA would be negative in the 1st place based on the ultrasound results and he was right!! He believes I'm having stomach spasms I forgot all his verbiage b/c not eating has me becoming forgetful but think he said something about taking medications long-term & not eating properly can irritate the stomach and I was fasting last month with my church... I think he's right... he sounds way more knowledgeable then my Surgeon sad to say  but he does. He prescribed me a meds called Levbid ER but CVS gave me the generic called Hyoscyamine ER and Doc said told to try lite meals an hour after taking this meds and stay away from fried foods (good thing I don't fry a lot at all). Only problem after I read the paperwork I realized it was extended release and as a Gastric Bypass patient we can't take ER, so the pharmacy has paged him to change it to one that's not EB. So i'll keep u all posted once I try and eat something. Wish me well. Thanks for the feedback you guys & gals are the best!! 

I'm super tired been only getting a few hors of sleep at night b/c of was concerned and browsing the net & OH for answers lol...so sorry for typos.

The EGD is the only kind of scoping of the stomach that I am personally aware of for RNYers.

Did any of the doctors check your pancreatic enzyme levels when you were having the pain?  The early stages of pancreatitis can involve pain shortly after eating that then eventually calms down, only to flare up after another meal. That is very easily diagnosed with just the blood work, so I assume they checked that, but thought I would throw it out there.

I hope they find the problem and that you feel better soon!

It can also be peterson hernia that may or may not show on any scans. I had 3 surgeries to correct that. in all situations - tests show nothing wrong, but during surgery doc find and fixed abnormalities. Internal hernias with my small intestine stuck in it and twisted. 

Or..it can be food allergies..i have some, and if i eat food that i am allergic to, i end up in pain. IT sucks, but the only way for me to avoid pain is to stay away from those foods...
