need your help 5 yrs out

I really am not new to this site, but i couldnt remember my old password.  I had my surgery on Aug 16, 2004 so i am almost 5 years out.  For the last 3 days i am in the most incredible pain when i eat. its right under my breastbone.  I get nausea and i throw up which makes me  feel better.  the first time it happened i thought i was having a heart attack.  the pain feels like churning glass.  anything have any idea if this can be a stricture

You need to see adoc - can be number of things - stricture, ulcer, etc.  You need to see a doc. 

could be your gallbladder, if you haven't had it removed yet.  You need to see your doctor























 

Sounds exactly like gallbladder to me. 

please keep us posted on how you are doing!

See your doctor as this could be any number of problems such as a peterson's hernia causing an obstruction (just an example).

Would this Peterson's hernia show on a CAT scan or an endoscopy?

Yes, a CAT diagnosed mine

I had the same type of pain a couple of years ago. I too thought it was probably an ulcer. I was way wrong. It was a vitamin defeciency, B1 and B12. Do you take your vitamins?
