Jinx myself

At 2:00am Saturday night I woke up SCREAMING in pain; serious abdominal pain – in 3 years I’ve never experienced that before. Ambulance came & took me to the Hospital. The did extensive blood work, EKG and an Ultra sound. They found nothing, my kidneys, gallbladder & liver are fine. They are assuming it was acid reflux & serious gas (which was slight embarrassing). The doctor prescribed heavy Pepcid (Famotidine). Today my stomach feels tight, but nothing like the pain I had before. 
I am going to call my doctor who did my bypass, see if I can get his opinion. The ER doctor said sometimes with this surgery leakage pops up, but after 3 years it’s unlikely; and I would have experienced fever, vomiting, etc.

Has anyone experienced this & what happened?

hey hope you are feeling better did they check you for an ulcer?? i had an endoscopy done a few months ago because of constant heartburn pain and they found a small ulcer right at the site of my RNY surgery.  im now on Prevacid to help heal the ulcer. good luck, jacki

Did they do a Cat scan?  It could also be an obstruction - but considering your pain is improving, that is HIGHLY unlikely. I agree with you to call your surgeon.  They may be able to run some other tests and figure out what is going on. Best of luck and keep us updated. Pam

i had a similar problem a few years ago, thought i was having a heart attack, turned out to that i had reflux and an ulcer. started nexium and cleared it up after about 3 days and never had heartburn or any problems again.
