Pain in my tummy...

Ok gang - I am hoping to get some guidance here. I am between health

insurance policies (job change) and need to hold out going to the doc for a

week.

Every time I have eaten a meal for the last three or four days I have ended

up with excrutiating pain. This pain is in the entire circumfrence of the

middle of my torso. My tummy bloats up terribly. I take a huge dose of

gasex and it passes (no pun intended - but that was funny). Tonight it

happened in a restaurant and Jon and I had to go out to the car. My poor

parents were petrified - so were my kids, so was Jon. Anyhow after a nice

big burp it starts to fade and then goes away. I can't imagine that EVERY

food I eat is causing gas. Just doesn't make sense. Tonight after the

episode I actually feel whatever food was causing the problem making it's way

down my intestinal tract. I am considering a laxative just in case something

is blocked up, however I am pooping (love this list - I can tell you guys

anything).

Now for the facts - I am 3 years (12/9/99) out from a proximal open RNY. I

have never had any complications. In May, when I thought I was gaining

weight, I had my mechanics checked and all was well. Doc says the weight

gain was due to weight training and a little bounceback.

I have several special occasions over the next week (Thanksgiving, First

Night of Chanukkah, company x-mas party...) and can't imagine not eating at

all - but will do what I have to do to avoid the ER until after coverage

kicks in 12/1.

BTW - protein shakes go down fine...

Thanks in advance for any help you all can offer.

Marjie
