Cramping and vomiting



Recommended Posts

Anyone having this? My doctor has no idea. I'm 3 months post op. I'm having severe cramping sometimes associated with vomiting. It seems to happen everytime I have stool in my colon, about every two-three days. It is always always in the morning and I can't associate with any food I eat. I have irritable bowel syndrome. My biggest fear is this is my life now. I have had my gall bladder checked and it's fine.

Has your Dr. sent you in for a Colonoscopy? Maybe inquire abt that, I've had that 3 times, very sporadic and not till I was 9 mo. out, surgeon had a cat scan of my abdomen, all was ok although he thought I might be "getting backed up", went to my pc when it happened a 3rd time and he sent me for a sonogram of my gallbladder but told me up front if it didn't show anything I would have to get the colonoscopy. We'll see. I relate, the cramps have me in tears when they happen and I didn't cry at all after my surgery. Good luck!

I had three different gallbladder tests which all came back normal. But we eventually removed the gallbladder anyway because nothing else seemed to make sense. The report back from pathology after it was removed was that my gallbladder showed signs of chronic inflammation, had stones (which didn't show up on the sono), and had a benign tumor inside. After having it removed the nausea and vomiting greatly improved. I am 6 months out and still have some "episodes" but nothing like before I had my gallbladder removed. The moral of my story is that "normal" gallbladder tests don't mean that there is nothing wrong with your gallbladder. I'm thankful that I had a doctor that was willing to believe me and my symptoms over the test results.

You know I've gotten the same thing and it usually happens about an hour after it takes her medicine so I thought maybe one of my medicines are one of my Vitamins was making me violently ill. The last episode I had was about a week ago on Sunday and I was on the floor in the bathroom of the church and I was puking up Water and phone in all it done was I had taken my vitamins and my pantoprazole in my Bentyl during church and after church I felt like I'm going to throw up. And then came the cramping in the pain and the sweats and then I pass out and fall asleep and then I wake up and I'm better this is how my episodes ago.

        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.

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
