Surgery was on June 29 & I've been experiencing really hard stomach spasms/cramps..they actually take my breath away..kinda feels similar to contractions..anyone else have this & what have you done to fix it???

I get that if I take one bite too many! Ouch!

Me too. Also if I eat too fast or if my tummy just doesn't like what I had. My stomach actually bunches up and I have to put on something looser or undo my pants till it passes. Twice, I have also spit up a large quantity of foamy stuff and once I threw up- which was actually quite a relief because I immediately felt better.

Yessssss!!! That's exactly how I'm feeling!!! Ughhh!! This has to stop!!!

Oh yep! I have them too. I get them still if I drink a sip of water (I am 9 days post op). I don;t have an answer. My doctor says that some of us just have more sensitive stomachs than others.

i'm getting them now ..( i only get them in the early morning after a long break from liquids)...i'm taking nexium for them ... i think mine is hunger ... only 7 days post op ....hope mine gets better after i'm able to eat ...

My doctor puts his patients on Levosin (gave me 150 of them and you can take them every 4 hours) for the first couple weeks/months to help it calm down if you need them. They really helped the first couple of weeks. I think by about week 4 I was almost off of them. You might want to ask! Some days I would wake up and my stomach was just "fussy". Guess it was healing. It does get better. The med just relaxes your tummy. I laughlingly said it felt like a snake was thumping around in there......esp right under my boobs!

Hope this helps!

Yes! Mine has actually stopped since I started taking 2 prilosec a day. It felt like a cramp right between and right below my boobs and I could feel it all the way around to the middle of my back. It would literally take by breath away. I'm 3 wks out and after 2 wks I didn't feel it anymore.

Thanks to everyone for the replies!! I do take Nexium daily & Prilosec but I do think I need something to calm the spasms..there really bad when I first wake up & they hurt really BAD!!! Ughh!!

I actually went to the ED because of stomach spasms. They rehydrated me, did a CT with contrast, and discovered the contrast still sitting in my esophagus. The gave me Reglan and said the motility (downward movement) in my esophagus had not returned fully. The Nurse Practitioner said it was reflux. I have been taking the Reglan and feel much better. Good luck!
