Petersen's Hernia

I had my gastric bypass surgery in October 2011, so a little over 3 years ago now.  I have been very sick for over 2 months straight. I have severe abdominal pain both upper and lower. Pain is mainly on the right side and goes into my back. Based on what I have read I believe that I may have Chronic Pancreatitis and I may have had an Acute Attack in the beginning of January where it lasted for about two weeks and I probably should have gone to the ER. I could not eat or drink and finally was able to drink only water and thankfully lots of it which I believe was the only thing that helped me and basically flushed out my system. However, I have had so many tests and procedures and nothing has proven my thoughts of Pancreatitis. I went back to see my Bariatric Surgeon and he found a Ventral Wall Hernia on the right side of my abdomen and one Internal Hernia called a Petersen's Hernia. However, he just presumed I had this Petersen's Hernia based on only a few symptoms I mentioned to him. He basically cut me off and just said that was what was wrong with me. There is no real test to show or prove this hernia as far as I am aware. Has anyone ever experienced a Petersen's Hernia? What are the sure symptoms of one. My heart feels like it's going to pound out of my chest and the pain is excruciating and I cannot eat or most of all sleep. I have a constant stabbing, burning, piercing pain that is relentless. My bowel habits have changed and now I am much more constipated. I cannot lay down.  The pain is mainly on the right side. Can anyone she'd some light on this situation for me? I am completely desperate. Thanks in advance! 

I haven't had the issues you're describing.  I Googled Petersen's Hernia and found:

Had a Petersen's hernia it is awful pain... was admitted thru the ER had hernia repair surgery and no more pain.

Petersen hernia is intermittent and so painful. I am a strong person but this pain took me to my knees. In my case all the tests came back normal, and I started to feel like a burden and thought I was crazy. Finally exploratory surgery found my issue. I am only a few days post op...I guess time will tell. My first three days post op was fine, my last two not so great, here we go again...endless tests with no findings...my intestines were surgically tacked down so I am not sure what the heck this pain is from. What a long road and a it has been a really crappy journey. Moral to my story, don't wait!!! See your doctor right away and demand tests and don't give up.
