Has anyone had pain in their back, around the kidneys, when they eat a too much?

I'm two and a half years out from RNY. I noticed last summer when I'd eat a little too much I'd get a dull throb near my spine on the right side and occasionally on the left. It wouldn't stay long and after a little research in the Q&A archives I chalked it up to being "backed up" (not being as regular as I once was). I've since fixed that problem, but on occasion I'm still having the pain. My stoma is much larger than it should be so I can eat more, by more I mean sometimes a cup and half versus a cup. I've read about WLS patients getting pancreatic tumors after surgery and I suppose this is what is in the back of my mind. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you everyone.
