What Causes Abdominal Pain, Nausea And Diarrhea Post Gastric Bypass Surgery?
I had Gastric Bypass Surgery 2 years ago. Tonight I have been having sharp pain in right side with nausea vomiting and loose stools. I am not sure they are connected I have not eaten anything unusual but I haven t eaten much today. I don t have a fever.

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to indigestion which is normal after a gastric bypass surgery. I suggest to:
- Try not to chew with your mouth open, talk while you chew, or eat too fast. This makes you swallow too much air, which can add to indigestion.
- Drink beverages after rather than during meals.
- Avoid late-night eating.
- Try to relax after meals.
- Avoid spicy foods.
- If you smoke, quit.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
