I am a little over 13 weeks out and had RNY gastric bypass.  Everything has been going perfect until about 3 days ago when i started experiencing this strange uncomfortableness in my upper abodomen between my brest bone and belly button.  Its gotten worse over the last few days so I called my surgeon and he will be doing a cat scan on my stomach tommorrow to see what is going on.  Has anyone ever experiienced this pain after surgery or does anyone have any ideas what this could be??  Its feels like a knot in my stomach and I also feel super bloated there.  I have not gotten sick and I am able to keep foods and liquids down, but I have noticed the pain flares back up after I eat.  Any suggestions would be most helpful.  Starting to worry.... Thanks!

Did you have your Gallbladder removed?  I have not had my surgery yet but i had that feeling after i had my son and needed my gallbladder removed.  I would always have pain after i ate.  I hope it is your gallbladder and nothing more serious.  If you need your gallbladder removed the surgery is a easy one.  Hope all goes well.

I have had pain like that and it turned out to be a hernia..but at 13 weeks I doubt that you would have so soon unless you strained or sneezed  real hard and felt something and heard a  popping sound.
It aslo sounds like a stricture...
just try to not worry cause it wont help any
good luck
being healthy has its rewards....take the challenge and just do it
