HELP! Stomach spasms?



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on Oct 30, 2012 and am still struggling. My doctor did give me a swallow test and a Endoscopy and both came back fine. I am still struggling to eat as you can see from my weight. I am now thinking that since the surgery my stomach is now super sensitive and I have spasms all the time. It happens no matter if I am eating or drinking. This morning I had a nice warm cup of peppermint tea and everything was good till about 5 min after drinking ½ cup my stomach tightened up. I thought maybe I should try to make some cream of wheat, when I opened the refrigerator the smells made me want to vomit. I ate 3 teaspoons and my stomach pain got worse. I have tried 2 different nauseous medications and I’ve also been sucking on ginger hard candy. Has anyone else had this problem? I have to call my doctor tomorrow with a update and he said if I am still struggling they will have to go back and take another look. Please help

I had surgery jan 21 2013...i have this sharp pain on the top of my stomach or it feels that way. I don't know how to describe it..but it feels like im super hungry but im not. I try eating a bit of food and it makes me want to vomit. Soups are okay they stay in, but anything else i feel it on my my throat and the food pushes up little by little. My pain goes away for a bit after drinking Advil. But i don't want to be drinking pills the rest of my life. Anyone else have a sharp pain comes and goes?

NANasPez i'll do what u did and go to the local doctor.

      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?
