Spasms

[SuzyB 182]

I am 2 weeks post op and for the last few days I have been having very painful spasms when I eat or drink. I have been trying to just wait til they pass and keep on fluids. I have tried varying temps but cannot seem to find on that doesn't set them off. I have an appointment tomorrow. Does anyone have any hints they used to get pass this

It's sounds like you are having esophageal spasms. Not unheard of for some newly sleeved people...

Talk to your doctor and he might put you on meds for it until it goes away..

Here one very short thread that I found but if you do a search on here you may find more

I gave in and called the dr. He peerscribed doxcpin. I have to take it at night and see what happens.

let us know how you make out.......even just a tiny trickle would give me spasms......warming up the liquids helped a lot in my case.....good luck!

Sometimes warming helped but other times the spasms were just as bad. When I realized I had only gotten in about 36 oz of fluids was my I have to call realization. I want to avoid dehydration if I can. Will let you know how it works

Glad you called and your doc was responsive. I have Levsin (hyoscyamine I think is the generic) that's an anti-spasmodic to use when that happens.

Good luck, I hope you're feeling better!
