Any ideas until I can see my surgeon?

I've had an Open RNY on May 8, 2001 and my gallbladder was removed 10 months later. Actually I've had more pain after the gallbladder removal than the attacks before. Anyway, for the last eleven or so days I've been nauseous and feel similar to the post surgical feeling of nothing looks good to eat. I can't even drink coffee anymore. And I've been having lots of stomach pain, feels like both pouch and old stomach. It is like a hunger pain growling but it is quite painful. It happens intermittently but frequently. I don't believe it is a stricture as I can keep food down just fine. And it can't be a blockage, as I go to the bathroom too. So I'm thinking an ulcer or something worse? Any ideas? I've called my surgeons office and they are going to try me on something stronger than my current Nexium. Anyway, this pain isn't going away. I can live with the pain, but what worries me is the pain is telling me something is wrong. And I must say I am worried. Any ideas? Thanks.
