Stomach pain

[HamHockSkye 10]

Am 7.1 in a 10cc band. My stomach has been cramping since Wednesday. The pain goes away when I take a alka seltzer. But once it's worn off the the nagging muscle constricting pain comes back. A couple of times I've dry heeved. I have an appt Monday but just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this

Alka Seltzer is usually not prescribed for banders. It's an Nsaid and it's carbonated. But if it makes you feel better who am I to say? Dry heaving is the same as vomiting and can also cause a slip due to the lower stomach convulsing. I'm surprised they want to wait till Monday?

Call your dr. Alkaseltzer has aspirin. You could cause yourself an erosion.

You might want to try some pepto

Well here's an update. Went to the Dr. And took a little Fluid out. She was thinking it may be Constipation due to the increased Protein. So I went home and bought stool softeners. Had a pretty good movement and pain went away for a little bit. Now pain only goes away with Alka Seltzer and if I eat frequently during the day. THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING!!!
