Mini spasms after RNY?



Recommended Posts

I was wondering if anyone else gets tiny butterfly spasms after RNY - almost like baby kicks in the early days for those of you who have experienced that?

It's not painful or unpleasant, just a bizarre sensation.

What do you all think it is??

I get those right now. It's such a weird feeling and makes me catch my breath and hold it until it's over. I chalked it up to my thyroid maybe being off and causing heart palpitations? But dunno? Hopefully someone will come in soon and tell you!! ((hugs))

I am 4 days post op and my doctor said those are called spams due to much rapid liquid going through the esophagus. So she prescribe a medication that I can crush and add it to my liquid intake every 12 hrs along with gas x and it has work wonders. I hope this helps

Yes I suppose it could be. It's not sore just a funny flittery feeling. It's not directly following meals but I guess the food will sit for a bit to digest before going anywhere x

I noticed a different kind of spasming a few days after I came home from the hospital -- my stomach muscles started twitching randomly, enough that it was noticeably moving the material of my shirt. I couldn't even feel it, though.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
