14 months post-VSG and landed myself in the ER for part of the day of yesterday. Still not quite sure WHY... woke up to severe abdominal cramps and waited 6 hours before dropping my son with his dad and heading to the hospital. A Bentyl injection, a liter of fluids and some blood & urine testing later the cramps had ceased, my lactic acid was fine and I was sent home. No sense keeping me overnight for observation they said as long as I agreed to return if the cramps came back and would not go away if I took the Bentyl prescription they sent me home with. Felt super wiped out when I got home but I was relieved my tests came back just fine even though there was no obvious cause for the cramping. Last time this happened (1 month pre-VSG) I also couldn't keep food down (that wasn't the case this time) and I was admitted and suffered through an NG tube for 2 days due to a blockage. This time they considered a blockage or a blood clot in my intestines but with my lactic acid remaining normal neither seemed to be the case. Today I have had just 3 more cramps across the whole day but my entire lower abdomen is very tender and feels a little on the bloated side. I have been careful;l about what I am eating today, making sure like yesterday it is bland and in smaller than usual quantities and that I am staying hydrated. Still not feeling myself yet, but I think I am on the mend. Prayers & good thoughts appreciated!

So sorry!

Hope you feel better soon.

Ouch! I'm sorry about your struggle! I had that same thing...only they found out I was just "full of poop." LOL, I was like, well I coulda told you that and saved the trip! Ha! But that bentyl shot is good stuff isn't it? It really knocked out the pain and spasms quickly!

Wow, that is so peculiar!! I am so glad tests were good. Sending prayers your way that this doesn't happen again. Thank you for sharing this!

Glad you are doing better!
