I'm with you on this one. Sounds a lot like my gall-bladder pain. Worst pain I have ever had. Usually comes on at night and lasts for hours. The next day it usually subsided to a dull ache. Felt like someone ran a six inch pipe through me just under my sternum, straight through my back.
I went to the doctor for it and they had a hard time diagnosing it because I was too large for the ultrasound to work well. They mis-diagnosed it and I lived with it for years. One night I was up with it and started reading around on the internet and became very certain that it was my gall bladder so I went back to the doctor and they did another ultrasound. They found I was full of stones.
My surgeon told me that WLS patients have gall stones very frequently after weight loss, so if it even twitches while he's in there, he'll take it out. (At that point, I didn't have it anymore, but he took Jane's out while he was in there.)
Definitely get to your surgeon soon. I lived with that pain for many years and you don't have to if it is your gall bladder. If it is something else, your doc can figure it out.
Best wishes!!!
