Please help diagnose me!

I am going to call my doctor first thing in the morning but I just want to see if anyone out there has any suggestions as to what may be going on with me. I had RNY on 03/26/12 about a week later I developed ulcers. I take meds every day. About a month ago I started feeling nauseous but not bad enough to do anything about it. About a week ago the nausea got worse so my doctor called in a prescription. On Friday around 4:30 after eating a Quest bar I felt really bad cramps in the area between my breast bone and my belly button. The pain radiates a little towards the right but it mainly stays above my belly button. It hurts when I press on that area.  The pain on Friday was bad enough for me to stay in and lay down. I did not have diarrhea or any vomiting. Saturday I still felt bad so I stayed home in bed all day. At one point I felt like I was going to vomit but I didnt. I did have to go outside for about an hour because the smell of my husband cooking shrimp was going to make me vomit.  This morning I wake up and I still have pain but not as bad as Friday. I am staying in again today. I still have my gallbladder. I have not been diagnosed with kidney stones. I just have ulcers. Any ideas what this could possibly be? Just wondering before I call my doctor on Monday. Thanks in advance.

could be gallbladder.

I'm betting on gallbladder. Why didn't they get rid of it at the same time as your RNY?

I asked them to remove it but my surgeon doesnt remove the gallbladder unless there is a problem. I think it has more to do with my insurance then with him. I really hope I dont need another surgery. Four weeks off without pay for my RNY was hard enough.

By the way, we had our RNY the same date!

LOL. I saw that. I was sitting here deciding whether I like you or not because you lost 74lbs and I only lost 41. LOL - jealousy rises again.

I sent you a friend request. 74 includes the 12 pounds prior to surgery and I lost over 30 in the first month after surgery due in part to uncontrolled nausea. Don't be jealous. We will both be victorious in the end!

hmm it does sound like gallblader problems

Could definitely be gallbladder. Even if you don't have gallstones or inflammation of the gallbladder, you might have a poorly functioning gallbladder which could cause a similar pain to stones. Ask for a HIDA scan, it's a nuclear medicine test to show the function of your gallbladder. If it's poorly functioning it should come out. Your liver will take over the job of the gallbladder.

Thank you. I will make sure to ask them about the HIDA scan.
