When did all the stomach pains and cramps subside for everybody post opt? Because I'm. Out to seriously go get an X-ray to see if it's leak related... I really do not want ant internal damage so I wanna get this checked out... I put an ice pack over my belly a d it seemed to get better but I rather be better safe than sorry

Also I started Feelin this pain as soon as I ate some egg drop Soup

When did you have your surgery? I did too much about 8 days out and was in pain for a day. It was mostly muscular though and I didn't really have any "deep" pain. Are you still having the problem a few hours later? My doc said if my pain meds couldn't bring it below a 6 in the first three weeks, to go to the ER to just be safe.

I'm three weeks out and have pain every know and again but not study

Late April I has my surgery. I didn't start feeling this pain until yesterday evening. I medicine helps but it's extremely short term. It makes me dizzy with the feel to vomit every now and then

I went through the same situation two weeks after my surgery. It was awful pain and i was ready to catch a flight or drive 24 hrs to see the surgeon, thats how bad it was. Then i woke up one night hurting really bad and i realized i was folding my pillow to make it high because it was very comfortable laying on my right side like that, but once asleep i would turn to my right side and i was stetching my ribcage which i guess my muscles were stretching also. I stoped folding my pillow and now the pain is almost gone.

If the pain is bad, I'd get it checked. Better safe than sorry. Hope you feel better soon.

Yes, my vote is to get that pain checked out immediately.

You know when something does not right with your body. I would say go an get check, and please keep us posted. Hope nothing wrong. Gl

I hope it's not that bad. Please keep us posted on what the doctor say.

Jimmy,

I don't think you should wait around if you are having pain. At least put a call in to your Dr. But if it's pain that you haven't had since surgery or if it's more intense I would head to the ER. Please update when you can.

Good luck, Jimmy. Please let us know how you are.

I took everyones advice including mine and decided to call my surgeon. After playing manhunt with the hospital they finally located him and connected us. He ask me to come in IMMEDIATELY. Practically face me an hour to get to his clinic. Once I was there they did the usual Pre testings, then I finally got to see him. After touch around my mid section trying to locate my center of pain, he noticed the internal tenderness. He advised me to check into the ER and he would inform the ER of my current state. So I left and proceeded to walk to the ER fatigue, weak, hurting and naseaus. Once I got there they checked me and I had to approximately 20 mins in order for them to check me into triage. The wait was ridiculous but worth it because all my docs and nurses were well-informed about my situation.

First thing this proceeded to do was give me a X-ray to test for leaks... I drank that disgusting liquid sip, sip, sip, gulp. I practically threw up over the guy, I even forewarned him about this potentially occurring. After the test was complete he told me that he found no leaks, but did see a lot of acid reflux in action. I was very excited to hear that because I really didn't wanna go back under the knife for nothing, the no leaks part not the acid reflux part.

After returning from the Xray they drew some blood, flushed me, gave me some nasea meds and some morphine. The stomach pains subsided and I'm actually able to breathe in and out normally w/o any pain. So that's a win in my book. Now I'm laying here waiting for the cat scan to be completed. I drank some ice Water and my god it was the greatest thing to me lol. I've been drinking room temp water since day 1 of surgery so this was practically a new/missed sensation for me ...

I'll be back with updates a lil later

The dr plans to have me on nexium for 2 months. Jimmy did the dr put you in anything for the reflux?
