Feeling full in the chest? Is it painful? If it is, it may be the start of gallstones... thats some serious pain.

I'm thinking it is more an acid reflux or similar type situation because it is only after eating (if that is what you would call it with so little going in). As far as gallstones, I see alot of the posts mentioning that. Does this surgery leave you extra vulnerable for that?

No specific weight loss surgery puts you at higher risk for gallstones. It is the proces of losing weight rapidly, with or without surgical intervention, that puts you at higher risk for gallbladder problems.
