Pain in Stomach

I had the RNY in 2006.  I made the mistake yesterday of taking a prescription steroid pill for "minor" pain.  I only took 3 by the time I had a HORRIBLE pain in my stomach.  I had to go to the ER and they had me get a CT scan.  The scan thankfully didn't show any issues and my pain is not as painful as it was.  But it is still there on the right side of my stomach.  I do not take the steroids now.  Has anyone had severe stomach pains this far after having RNY surgery?  It feels like I've been doing some really strenuous exercises but I haven't.  I'm wondering if it will go away and what I can do to ease the pain.  We are going on vacation tomorrow.  :(

All I know is that years ago, I had to take prednisone and it upset my stomach very much (before WLS). and I was in a lot of pain  So, I know that it can be a side effect of that medication.  I hope you're feeling better soon!!

I'm starting to think that it might be a hernia now.  :(

Of course each person is different but I have had 3 hernia surgeries and no pain. Symptom was a big bulge. Do you still have your gallbladder and did you take 3 pills at one time ? Sometimes meds upset me but not the next day. 

Hi.  I still have my gallbladder.  I took 2 pills in morning and 1 after lunch like it said.  I have bulge but pain is like I've been working out really hard and I havent.
