Gas or something worse?

Hey All,

This morning at around 4AM I woke up and felt pain in my stomach..the feeling of it twisting is the only way to describe it. I feel like I get a twist, then it goes away.. It's now 12PM and the pain has become less frequent, but I'm afraid to eat anything. I have had 1/4 cup of decaf and a few bites of a mighty muffin that went down okay, but I just had a few sips of Water and that brought on the twisting as soon as I drank it.

I know no one is a doctor here (or maybe they are!), but anyone had any experience like this? I'm hoping it's just gas still making it's way down from dinner last night? Last night I had a hamburger patty with cheese and some grilled onions on top. I had it the night before and it went down fine.

I'm almost 2 months post op.

Thanks all.

If it came on slowly and intensified, after all the fat you ate the previous night, I'd say maybe pancreatitis or possibly your gall bladder, if it's still there. Hamburger with cheese has a lot of fat content and fat tends to trigger those kinds of attacks. You'll probably have to see the doctor, maybe get some bloodwork if it continues. The pain for something like that would have felt like it was right up under the bottom of your ribcage.
