What Causes Pain In Mid Stomach And Throat Area?

Hi,I had gastric bypass surgery 5 1/2 yrs ago. After the 1 yr period I stopped taking Prilosec, had no heartburn, etc. About 5 mos ago after eating the pm meal I am only able to eat small portions & have noticed pain in my mid stomach & throat area, this only lasts about 15 minutes. However, tonight I had more pain & it lasted 1 1/2 hr. I am wondering if something regarding the surgery is now causing problems.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As you underwent gastric bypass, so causes may be gastritis. Other causes are tonsillitis, stomach infection and sore throat. Treatment mainly depends upon the conditions. I would suggest you to do endoscopy after consultation. You can take tablet Pantoprazole.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
