What Causes Gastritis And Right Sided Pain And Hardness In The Stomach?

I have a hard area of my stomach right below my rib cage and had terrible stomach pain and gas. My doctor says he does not feel anything abnormal, but is sending me for a cat scan of my stomach. I have also had a mini gastric by pass. Should I be concerned, as the acid has diminished, but I am very full after eating and belch a lot.

(3)constipation,
