Hi ,

My husband Jim also had this same surgery on August 19, 2002. He is

still experiencing pain--mostly on right side of his abdomen. He

just had an EDG and UGI recently (post the surgery) and all were

normal. Have you found anything else as to WHY you are having this

pain? He goes to his GI doctor friday, Jan. 3rd. Any suggestions as

to what other tests/xrays should be ordered??

Thanks,

Lorrie and Jim
