Stomach spasms??

I am 3 days post-op sleeve (also had my gallbladder removed and a hiatal hernia repaired) and I am getting random stomach spasms that last like 5 seconds. They make my whole abdomen tense and take my breath away for a few seconds. I am going to call the surgeon today but I'm curious if this is a typical pain after vsg? The spasms so far are the worst part of my healing experience.

    Scared but excited.

    I'm day 8 post-op and here to report it does get better. I haven't had a spasm in two days! It's made it SO much easier to get down liquids without that annoying tightening.
