Question:
What is this terrible pain in my right side after eating?

Everytime I eat, I get a terrible pain in my right side that radiates around to my back, i have had my gallbladder out for a long time so I know its not that. Its pretty painful. It doesnt feel like gas and my bm's are fine (well I have several a day which seems a little unusual for gastric bypass patients. I am 11 months post op and have lost 165 lbs. Is this a normal pain or should I call my doc. It started about a month ago sometimes its worse than others.. the past 3 meals its really bothered me more than usual.    — Jennifer W.

Call right away and solve the 'problem' and put your mind at ease. Good luck to you and congratulations on SO much success. Keep up the good work. (Open RNY October 30, 2002 -75 lbs)

Good luck with finding out what it is. It feels like a gallbladder attack but mine was taken out to. I've had tests and no one knows what is going on.
