What could be causing this pain?

It has been almost three years since my gastric bypass surgery and I have lost 170 lbs. and never had a problem. I had hernia repair (3 hernias) and an abdominoplasty on Nov.30...that was quite an ordeal! On February 3rd, I started having the worst pain of my life, it hurt so bad that I really couldn't tell where it was originating from, the pain is from just below my breasts all the way down my stomach and going all the way around my back (I don't have a gallbladder), my pcp didn't know what the problem was but he checked me for pancreatitis which I didn't have and told me to see my bypass surgeon..well, I started feeling better and never went to see him. Then this past Thursday it all started again..the worst pain imaginable, I wound up at the emergency room and they did a chest x-ray, an x-ray of my abdomen, bloodwork and a urinalysis...all came back fine, so they also recommend that I see the surgeon which I am going to do this week. I can't eat, everytime I eat anything the pain starts again, even mashed potatoes which I tried last night. What could be wrong????
