Hello, has anyone experienced extreme stomach pain like cramps? I had the sleeve done in Feb 2013. I weighed 220 now I'm 120 and I'm so much happier. But six months or so after the surgery and ever since then, I get cramps that hurt very bad. I have to curl up in a ball because standing or laying down is out of the question. I really should go to the ER but I don't have the strength. I called my Dr when it first happened and I had my gallbladder tested but it was ruled out. When it first occurred, it happened every few months. Now its almost monthly. I have an appt with my Dr 8/20 but was wondering if others had the same thing happen to them? I've tried researching online but nothing sounds about right. Thank you for your time.

Anything severe should be a call to your doc in my opinion, will say a prayer for you

Sounds like it could be acid possibly to. Go see a doctor and see about getting a gastroscopy and ultrasound or swallow test done. If it happens again before you can get tests then go to the er next time it happens. For me it was acid. Start 2 months out and continued to accelerate to daily... im only 7 months out and on meds now. They are definitely helping... don't know how i would function otherwise. Mine may turn into a bypass conversion but time and more tests will tell... good luck and please don't wait to get it checked. If it is acid or reflux it can lead to very serious complications if you ignore it.

Thank you!

Could it be trapped gas? I've had occasional bouts of severe gas that have left me in a ball on the floor. (Pre-sleeve).

@@kmd0235 after my gallbladder was ruled out, my nurse also mentioned it could be gas

Could my frequent with drinking fluids pains be from gas even tho I'm 8 days post op ? No other pain realized.
