Im 5 months post surgery. I've had a tummy bug for the last 4 days. Dizziness, Nausea and vomiting. Then randomly I'll be starving so I'll force myself to eat. Then I get light stomach spasms, nausea, and light vomiting. Today I wake up with a bad headache but nausea is better so I eat. Now the nausea is back and the spasms are horrendous. Like they were right after surgery. Do I worry this is something wrong with my sleeve or is it just that my sleeve is irritated from throwing up??

Do you have a fever? If so, then call your doctor right away. Can you keep liquids down? If no, then also call your doctor as dehydration can be an issue. If this is a stomach bug you should start to feel better very soon. Try some chicken broth when you are hungry.

All that being said, since it is already Friday afternoon, I would recommend calling your doctor now instead of waiting for the weekend. Hope you feel better soon.

I did not have a fever, but yesterday i DID. I can for the most part keep fuilds down. I was in my infusion when this severe spasms came on. They almost cancled it but instead gave me zofran (for nausea) and ranitidine (for gastritis). It ended up working... so long as i didn't eat or drink anything. I continued to use both over the weekend and as long as i kept up on them i was fine. This morning however i took them, and had the spasms AGAIN! My pcp is out till thursday but i have an apt with her then. Im waiting till my surgeons office opens now to call and ask them about it. I have a feeling they will say its gastritis causing esophageal spasms and really what can be done for that??

Pcp says it's esophageal spasms with possible gallbladder involvement. She increased my omeprozole for the constant spasms (the ones I get every time I eat or drink) and gave me nitroglycerin for the bad spasms (the ones that last hours and make me cry). Had no idea they give heart attack meds for the tummy! She also said to let her know what my surgeon said. I see him tomorrow.

Keep us posted. Curious.

I wonder if it is your gallbladder. Could be.

My dr is thinking I may have that in addition to the esophageal spasms. She already did an ultrasound that didn't show stones but she says that sometimes there are stones or sludge that don't show on an ultrasound.

I'll keep updating as I learn more

So sorry your not doing well please keep us posted.
