HELP! Stomach spasms?



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on Oct 30, 2012 and am still struggling. My doctor did give me a swallow test and a Endoscopy and both came back fine. I am still struggling to eat as you can see from my weight. I am now thinking that since the surgery my stomach is now super sensitive and I have spasms all the time. It happens no matter if I am eating or drinking. This morning I had a nice warm cup of peppermint tea and everything was good till about 5 min after drinking ½ cup my stomach tightened up. I thought maybe I should try to make some cream of wheat, when I opened the refrigerator the smells made me want to vomit. I ate 3 teaspoons and my stomach pain got worse. I have tried 2 different nauseous medications and I’ve also been sucking on ginger hard candy. Has anyone else had this problem? I have to call my doctor tomorrow with a update and he said if I am still struggling they will have to go back and take another look. Please help

I had surgery jan 21 2013...i have this sharp pain on the top of my stomach or it feels that way. I don't know how to describe it..but it feels like im super hungry but im not. I try eating a bit of food and it makes me want to vomit. Soups are okay they stay in, but anything else i feel it on my my throat and the food pushes up little by little. My pain goes away for a bit after drinking Advil. But i don't want to be drinking pills the rest of my life. Anyone else have a sharp pain comes and goes?

NANasPez i'll do what u did and go to the local doctor.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
