Hi.
Thanks for your question.
You have a typical history of Gastric Bypass Surgery in 2002 and starting the growling since then.
Now you have pain in right side of the abdomen and feeling of swelling under right rib cage. Feeling of blocking of something in the anus along with passage of small amount of feces. You also have borborygmi (noises in the abdomen),

This indicated that the Colon on the affected side has some problems. This can be detected well by:
CT scan of the abdomen and - Barium studies (Enteroclysis) and colonoscopy will diagnose the Problem and give perfect guideline for medical and / or surgical management.

I hope this answer helps you.

As you have described in your narrative there might be few possibilities like pancreatitis or cholecystitis or it might be due to appendicitis or liver abscess because pain and tenderness is there. So first of all you have to go for abdominal ultrasound to rule the diagnosis. Than accordingly we can plan for treatment whether conservative or surgical. In conservative treatment you have to take some antibiotic like tab augmentin 625 mg thrice daily or tab zifi-cv twice daily after meals with tab ultracet or tab akilos-p twice daily after meals for pain with cap omez-d or cap pantop-d twice daily empty stomach. For constipation you have to take syrup dufalac or syrup cremaffin 15 ml stat at night.
