Pain and No Appetite

I have had pain above my navel and no appetite for almost three days. I spent 11 hours in the emergency room yesterday, only to have them say everything looked fine on the CT scan. I am having difficulty eat anything. I feel full as soon as I start eating, and I can't touch my abdomen without pain. They want me to go back for a scope next week if the pain doesn't get better. They said that maybe something just irritated my pouch. Has anyone else had irritation this bad for so many days or does this sound like an ulcer or something else?

I have had that happen a few times during my first year after surgery.  The solution is no food and just drink liquids for a few days. 

It is good you went to the ER and made sure nothing else was wrong.  If you cannot get liquids down you will need the scope.  Hopefully things will calm down and you will be fine in a day or two.

hey, you don't say how far ouy from surgery you are if you are only a few days out yes you will have pain . I had some pain as far out as three weeks and I still get full easy I can only eat 1/4th cup of oatmeal in the am and 1/2 sandwich for lunch . I know when im full , I start to hick up then I know im full.

I have had this pain and have went through umpteen tests over the years. You mite get lucky and it go away or ur surgeon really cares about his patients and when things aren't right, won't give up until things are. U will be in my thoughts.
