Vets: Extreme cramping & pain 5 1/2 mos out - what is it?

[NMJG 1,266]

Hoping someone has some insight on this. Today I ended up in the ER for extreme stomach pain and vomiting. It was like an 8 out of 10 on the pain scale. I was sipping a Swiss Miss Diet cocoa and bam! Was completely incapacitated.

At the ER they ran blood tests and did CT. My heart rate was too low (46) but that is because my blood pressure meds need to be adjusted again, no doubt, and that wouldn't cause this kind of stomach pain. The CT showed inflammation but nothing concrete.

They gave me zofran, which stopped the vomiting and helped with the pain a lot, which made me think that maybe the vomiting caused cramping which is now much more painful with a sleeve. The other odd thing is last Sunday I was drinking cold Water rather quickly and suddenly vomited it all back up. This is really weird since I am 5 1/2 months out.

There is flu going around. Maybe I have a stomach bug and it hits sleevers differently than presurgery? I called my bariatric surgeon's office, and other than the CT scan they had no other advice more than liquids for today and tomorrow and see if it gets better.

Anyone ever have anything like this? Do stomach cramps, flu, and other tummy issues cause pain after the sleeve?

Did they check your gallbladder?
