I am female, 61 years old, with abdominal pain whenever I eat, and it doesn't seem to matter what I eat. Pain begins shortly after I start eating usually but lately it has been more often and even when I don't eat. It is in my midriff and feels like I have eaten a very large meal. This has been going on for about a year and I did have my gall bladder removed along with 6 large nickel sized stones but the problem persists. I have decreased appetite and have lost over 50 lbs since these symptoms began. I weighed about 280+ and now weigh 230. The pain in the past few days seems to have started to be dull. constant and radiates into my chest.
