Stomach Churning/Twisting with every swallow



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone,

I'm a newbie. I was sleeved on 4/6. Surgery went well, was released from hospital on 4/7. Drinking not so good. Why is it that everytime I take one little sip of my 1oz cup of Water that the water seems to sink to the bottom of my LIL' STOMACH and my LIL' STOMACH starts to churn and twist and tighten? Today I am suppose to start protien shakes, but with the reaction of LIL' STOMACH to water I'm scared! Will this ever STOP? When?

Thank you, desperately seeking a solution...

When you are sleeved some people stomach's spasm when they drink water.. Call your doctor and ask if he will call you some Hyoscyamine in. It helps with stomach spasms.. You will feel better just take them for a couple of days. Just be patient it will go away with time. The hyoscyamine really helps though. good luck double

I was sleeved on 4/4 and had the same problem with Water for the first few days. I was able to tolerate Water with crystal light and clear Protein water drinks however. I heard water with lemon can also be more easily tolerated.

Speaking of water. I am here at work and 30 min ago I just took 3 big gulps of water from my water bottle. I forgot I was sleeved last week. Fortunately my stomach didn't go too crazy!!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
