stomach cramps



Recommended Posts

Banded on Aug 29,2013 just had my 3rd fill and I have been experiencing cramps in my stomach area after eating or drinking any thing. It comes in waves, I have to spit out food at every meal. Still trying to SLOW down... is the cramping a normal stuck problem or something I should worry about?

It's hard to say. I have not experienced that.

I was told to always call my surgeon's office if I have trouble after a fill.

Good idea to sloooooow down. When you get a fill do you stick to liquids, then move to mushies, then soft food before going back to regular food? If not, you may want to do that.

And call your surgeon's office in the morning just to be on the safe side.

Depends on when your fill was. If it was on Friday, it may be that you are swollen and should be on liquids. If it was earlier than that, you may be a little too tight! I agree, you should call your surgeon's office this morning. best wishes, Karen..aka.kll724

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
