Nope, no trouble at all... just had some at the movies a few hours ago.  I don't know if that's a good thing that I don't have trouble with it though cuz it goes down so darn easy..LOL!

Nope no trouble here either.  Did you have microwave popcorn?  Maybe the yellow stuff that makes it pop is what upset your tummy, it usually has someform of dairy product in it.

Do you still have your gallbladder?  Popcorn, butter and stuff they soak it in cause me HORRIFIC pain and would trigger a gallbladder attack and this was pre VSG.  If you don't have your gallbladder then it just sounds like something in popcorn and your sleeve don't mix.  However, if you have your gallbladder - popcorn might be triggering a gallbladder attack.  Lettuce, popcorn, spicy foods, red sauce were some of my triggers.  Anyway - just a thought.  Hope you feel better

Gallblatter is what I would think too.  Theater popcorn is what put me in the hospital for a couple days years ago. Who knew when you ordered it with no butter that yer fooling yourself cuz they soak the seeds in oil...lol.

 Unfortunately I have no problems with it. It goes down way too easy.

I eat it all of the time.  It is my guilty pleasure.  Thank heavens for the mini bags.

No problem with popcorn here either! 

I agree with the previous poster...maybe gallbladder related?
