3-weeks post-op. Why does it hurt after I eat?

I am 3 weeks post-op lap rny. Within the past few days it hurts when I eat. About 20 minutes after I am through i feel a very sharp and stabbing pain in my left side below my ribs and right in the middle of my chest. I kept thinking it was gas, but dont think so. I called my doctor today and they have scheduled me for an upper gi tomorrow. Does anyone have any idea what this might be or have you experienced this. The pain is almost unbearable for about an hour or so. Your help would be great. I am worried that something has gone wrong. I have been following the diet I was given and I am on pureed foods.
