I had a revision RNY on October 15, when I eat, I get deep, sharp pains under my sternum through to my back. Has anyone had that happen? It hasn't been unbearable. I know to go to doc or ER if it does. I am just wondering if this is normal healing.

I had a revision to RNY two weeks ago. I was eating Sugar Free Jello, and after about 3 bites, I got a terrible cramping pains near my belly button. I am still cramping and nauseated, but those are my only symptoms. I do have a lot of adhesions, pullin

Thanks!

I would love to hear your stories...good and bad about the RNY. :)
