Could this be a stricture?

[Guest guest]

Hi all. I have a question. I am just about 19 months out, lap rny

on 11/02/01. I haven't had one single complication until recently.

I have an appointment on July 3rd and will try to hang on until

then. Whenever I eat, I get this tremendous pain just below my

breastbone, yet above my navel. Then my back kills me. I am

thinking it could be a stricture or trapped gas. It hurts to the

point where I MUST lie down until it passes. When working, I take

teeny tiny bites to avoid this pain at all costs. Before this

happened, (it's been about 10 days now) I never had the first

complication. Is anyone relating to this? Thanks so much for any

feedback. Max
