I have a constant stomach ache,

Hi all. I'm almost 6 weeks post-op, LAP RNY. My gallbladder was removed over a year ago. For the past 5 days I've had a stomach ache that started out small, but has now grown to be actually painful. It's on the left side, right where my new little stomach is. It gets slightly better SOMETIMES when I eat, but not everytime I eat. Water makes it worse, but Crystal Light has seemed to make it a little better sometimes. I've also had a constant nausea that doesn't improve much. This morning the pain got so bad that I ended up taking a Percocet at 6:00 am (broken into about 10 tiny pieces) with some Crystal Light. That finally took the majority of the pain away, and the Crystal Light stayed down fine. So, about half an hour ago I took another little drink of the Crystal Light, and this time I became immediately sick and threw it back up. Now I've still got that yucky feeling and have that familiar, in-the-back-just-below-the-shoulders pain I used to get during gallbladder attacks. WHAT IS GOING ON??? ANY advice is appreciated! Thanks :).
