Help! Stomach ache

[Deb 0]

OK, I have had a stomach ache for 4 days. I have been thinking it was gas but this is ridiculous. It now hurts when I swallow...not my throat but when it gets to my stomach. I have taken sooo many antiacids. I burp like crazy but I can not get the relief I need. Anybody got any help for me?

I would definitely call your surgeon. 4 days is too long to be hurting like that.

That's how it felt for me with my gallbladder issues. Definitely get checked out by your PCM or contact your surgeon.

have you tried going back to some more basic foods....mushies at all? Sometimes you just need to give it a little rest.

Are you taking your ppi 30 minutes before you eat? If not the acid production is goind to be too much.

I am back on liquids w just a little food in it, Like chicken noodle Soup. A few secs after I swallow, I get a pretty sharp pain. It hurts under my l ribs and behind my belly button. I wonder if something is having a spasm. Thank goodness I have a dr appt tomorrow w my surgeon. What kind of ppi are you all taking? I was sure hoping this would be cleared up by now because I am really feeling weak!

I'm on Prilosec 20mg once daily. I take it first thing in the morning, and the directions state to take 1 hour before eating anything, or taking it 3 hours after eating. I prefer taking it before I eat anything.

I hope you get some relief Deb. If you had a hernia repair along with the sleeve, you could definitely be having spasms. I know VegasAngel had a hiatal hernia repair and she had a lot of spasms post-op.

Let us know how your appointment goes tomorrow.
