I did have hernia repair and had those spasms when I overate but not during drinking. I think it was more I was overrating than anything else

I even just sip an I'm not eating anything yet..I am barely taking in fluids that's why I'm still in hospital hooked to iv. ...I new I would end up in ER dehydrated. My dr agreed he left it up to me so I'm staying. How long since your surgery? It hurts bad...

I am dealing with the same thing. doc said it will go away...when it happens I take a breath or two in and it goes away...it is not a good feeling though.

I had my sugery june 4th.2014.I just got off fluids. It does hurt and spasm when anything that goes down. Witj mine I hury for about two weeks. I notice the more I took small amount and space out what I taking amount in hour time. With ur hernia did u habe acis reflux to?

I have GERD for yrs but never spasms with it.he has probontix an several other meds coming thru..if I don't drink it's fine only happens when something passes thru..it's bad when it starts. Surgeon told me it's common when working on the hernia...

I was told vy my doctor that. The acid would cause nausea and getting sick. So I back on mine. . With hernia you are healing. Amd hopefully it will pass in couple of weeks out. Hope that u feel better soon
