Stomach Spasms - 1 Week Out

[shellbell125 41]

I keep having these stomach spasms. Everything kind of restricts. Feels like someone squeezing my stomach tight. Only lasts a couple of seconds, but it is painful. Has anyone else had these? It might happen a couple of times an hour but I don't think it's bad enough to take the pain medicine they gave me. Although I am going to take some tonight so I can get a good night sleep.< /p>

Thoughts anyone?

THanks

When did you have your surgery and have your told your surgeon?

if you are following your diet especially the no caffeine. My NUT warned me about the caffeine and that it can cause muscle spasms. But like Aurora said when in doubt call the DOC. Good Luck

Anything really cold did that to my tummy right after surgery. Had to be room temp or warmer. If you're a week out, it's totally normal as you're healing and your new stomach is trying to figure out what the heck just happened!!

Absolutely! I had these in the hospital and a few weeks out. They are normal for this surgery.

i still have significant pain with food/fluids. jpeg might have to be replaced (fell out). every bite regardless of what it is - hurts- for about 5 minutes. enough to bring tears. post op temp of fluids, etc might be good to monitor for a bit. my situation was different, but i empathize with you. hang in there!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks so much everyone, I'm not drinking any caffeine and sticking to the diet. I will monitor as to whether it is the temperature or not.

Spasm's caused a leak (likely) in my case hun. Don't wait to call your doc. They might want to give you a muscle relaxant given it's so frequent.

yikes I will call today.

yikes I will call today.

Thank you dear. I'm very anti leak after going through hell so you will see I warn everyone that said, if it helps one person not experience what I did...I feel like a god among men Ok maybe a goddess among bloggers.... heh heh

Your doc may say you are fine, but it's always better to be safe than really really sorry!
