painful stomache cramps



Recommended Posts

I was banded 2 weeks ago with no real recovery problems. No i'm getting intermitent stomach cramps whether i'm hungry or not. Has anyone else experienced this and is it part of recovery and will pass?

I wonder if its just your tummy adjusting to the change. I know for me...my stomach couldnt tolerate the sugar free stuff. It gave me stomach cramps and diareah. :tongue2: good luck and i hope it gets better.

I was having trouble with Constipation and started getting stomach cramps especially after having Tomato Soup. I finally had to take sensoket s and felt better.

I'm also 2 weeks post -op and have been getting the cramps also - I think it's gas - it's always on my left side.

I'd be willing to bet that it's your body trying to heal it's self and I think it can also make your incisions hurt,the other possibilty is that it good be gas pains which I know are NOT fun after you have surgery.

      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?
