You did not say how long you have had your pouch. After I had mine for about 4 years, I started having pain and nausea on my left side. My concern was scar tissue. Scar tissues does not show up on any scans. After some tests, my GI doctor determined that I had some gallstones, but that they were not of a size or location that should be bothering me. He reluctantly sent me to a general surgeon to remove the gallstones and look for scar tissue. Low and behold there was scar tissue. He removed it and the pain was gone immediately. I do some occasional massage type exercises to hopefully keep this problem from coming back. That said; as Sharon said, it could be many other things. I hope you figure it out soon. Good luck.
