Have you had a full or partial bowel obstruction after WLS?

I had open RNY and hiatal hernia repair on 4/5/02 and gallbladder removal on 5/14/02. Since the first of May I've been having constant low abdominal and low back pain, and it always gets worse after eating. I've had just about every test out there and they've all come back normal. I go tomorrow for an upper GI with a small-bowel follow-through to look for obstructions and stuff. Has anyone ever had a full or partial bowel or intestinal obstruction since your surgery? Please post your experience. Your replies are greatly appreciated!
