A member asked:

Severe ruq, chest, back pain-only way to get rid of it is to make myself vomit. im 22 days post lap chole. i have gastroparesis-could it be pain cause?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See surgeon: This could be related to your surgery, it depends on the symptoms you had prior to surgery. You should see your surgeon because you could have a fluid collection in the RUQ that may compress the stomach leading to the vomiting. It could also be gastroparesis. See your surgeon, you will likely need labs and possibly a CT scan or motility study.
