New sleeve sometimes feels crampy

Just got home yesterday from a great experience with Dr. Lopez and A Lighter Me. While I was there and now at home, my stomach sort of feels like it rolls and it hurts a little. Did anyone else feel this? Just curious.

Yes, this is very common among sleevers. It's mostly gases from the surgery working through your system, plus some digestive-related gases being expelled. Walking, drinking plenty of clear fluids, and time will help the most. It can take 2-5 days before the anesthia and carbon dioxide they fill your abdomen with during surgery to work out of your system.

My surgery was May 9th and I still get cramping too but it's better every day. For some reason warm broth doesn't bother me as much as water though. Neither does apple juice or coconut water. (That's the extent of my diet at this point).

I had contractions in my stomach for about a week after surgery.... The first few days were at times quite intense, but after that they were only mild uncomfortable until they disappeared completely at around the one week point.
