Severe stomach pain /spasms



Recommended Posts

I am one week post op and feel like a fool having to ask this question. I ate a few forkfuls of chicken salad. I immediately developed abdominal pain and severe spasms with right shoulder and chest pain. I know I ate too fast and thought to drink sips of Water. After drinking the water and laying down for an hour the pain was relieved. I still feel really full and will not be doing this again. Although I am feeling better I am worried that I possibly caused damage to the lapbad or stitches from the severe spasms. Has anyone else had this happen ?

I'm going to say that you probably didn't damage anything if the pain has subsided.

Are you on any kind of post-op diet? For 2 weeks after, I wasn't allowed anything but Soups, ensures, stuff like that.

If you do eat- just remember to chew, chew, chew!!

Good luck!

Thanks for your help. I was alittle confused with the post -op diet. I did resume a liquid diet and feel better. However, I was very concerned with possibly doing damage to the band or my stomach. I just needed to hear someone else to reassure me I did not do permanent damage. Thanks so much for your help.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
