I have been having some issues with my stomach and I was wondering if anyone has had the same issues. After eating I begin having a feeling of fullness and have to stop. I then feel bloated cant stand anything even snug around my waist. I also have upper gastric pain almost like gas pains but nothing seems to help. I have people say gall bladder some say ulcer . I see my surgeon on monday but I was wondering if anyone had any ideas or similar issues. Thanks so much in advance .

What are you eating? Could be lactose intolerant.    Or maybe your eating to fast.

I had this asked to me a while back.....are you an emt? Use your training.

Does the upper quad pain land on the left or right?

I had your symptoms and it was my gallbladder back in Dec 2011, I felt 100 times better once it was gone. I also had some of those symptoms after it and I spent almost a year going to a gastro Dr and being submitted to endless tests and meds only to go back to my surgeon who did exploratory surgery and I had adhesions gluing my intestines together and causing a bowel obstruction. Don't give up if they say its nothing.
In the meantime....try gas x, it helped with my bloating and gas pains. I got the chewable ones from walmart. And papaya enzyme helps with digestion.

Thanks Amy , I am a EMT and I have been thinking it is gall bladder related. I see the surgeon on Monday ! I had tried tums which worked for a few minutes and then it comes back. Havent even tried gas x hadnt even thought of it. I have been working for two services recently and dont have a lot of time for meal planning but this has definitely forced me to get back to basics. thanks for reminders lol and some good info !!
