Spasms

First of all...... THEY SUCK!!!

Second, can anyone give me hope as to how long I will have deal with these? I know it will be worth it in the end but I'm really hoping this isn't forever.

    I'm sorry if I'm being obtuse, but "spasms" of what, Friend?

    After drinking, just sitting in a chair, there is a spasm near my diaphragm/stomach opening that feels like someone is twisting and turning it.

    I had an upper GI this morning so I know there are no leaks or anything.

    When did you have your surgery?

    It could be that you are still healing and you still have some gas that hasn't escaped yet.

    Be kind to yourself. Try a heating pad? Take short walks.

    If you are uncomfortable and/or concerned enough, please call your bariatric team and let them know what's going on. They know you best and can guide you.

    Feel better and let us know what you find out.
