stomach and intestinal cramps for 4 days now



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I have not been feeling well all week, and for the past 4 days have had severe stomach and intestinal cramps (like when you have diarrhea) without the diarrhea though. I will be teaching my class or talking to someone, then double over in pain anywhere from 5 to 20 seconds. Sometimes it is only twice an hour, sometimes twice a minute.

What do you think?

Go to the doctor. That could be band related, could be an intestinal virus, could be appendix... but it is definitely not right and needs to be checked right away.

I think you should be calling your doc, not posting here! Good grief if it hurts enough for you to double over, why are you waiting?

I called yesterday, and they said they think it is a virus, not the band, but I have to go in Monday if the problem is still going on. Last night was the worst- I thought I would die. I actually finally had "the runs" and was up most of the night. Still cramping this am 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?
