@lety83 - Have you had follow up visit after surgery? I don’t think you should have pain after eating at this point. It is possible that your celiac artery is still not fully open.
It happened to me after 6 months- the artery was still deformed from the ligament pressure. A stent was placed and I have been fine since then.
You probably should contact the surgeon to make sure blood flow is good.

Doctor said, to wait 6 months to see if surgery worked. He explained that only 3 out of the 10 he performed surgery on has seen relief. I had laparoscopic surgery in November. I am currently trying acupuncture. Doctor wants me to see psychiatrist now because I’ve been sick for a year. What is the purpose of the stent? Was that surgery? Sorry I’m new to all this. So after 6 months you got sick again? What were you’re symptoms?
