Terrible stomach pain 3 weeks post-op

Hi all. I had a LAP RNY on 5/31 and I still have my gallbladder. Last night was worse than any pain I had in the hospital after surgery. I'm at a soft food stage, but I make sure I still chew my food very well. The pain I had last night had to be gas related because of all the pressure I had felt. I was nauseted and had sharp pains about every 15 minutes or so. I walked a 1/2 mile trying to let some air escape and very little did. About 1:30 in the morning, I finally vomited and had a lot of relief. Today I only had 4 crackers and some chicken broth and maybe 2 cups of water and the cramping is back tonight. Is it possible that my opening to my intestine is closing up? I will be calling my surgeon first thing tomorrow morning, but I would like to know if anyone else has gone through this? Thank you in advance for taking the time to post an answer.
