And now for something completely different

I have noticed this past week that whenever I eat or drink something I seem to be getting a "cramp" on my lower left side. A little painful, and it goes away fairly quickly. Was just wondering if anyone out there has had this happen. Not sure who to call, My PCP, or Tummy doctor on this one. May just give them both a jingle just to run it by them. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, Thanks! Julio

i'm sorry to hear that. I think I would start with your PCP. But I'm also thinking you should let the surgeon know too. Just to be safe. do you still have your gall bladder? appendix? IBS? Let us know. Hope it's nothing. Good luck.

Hey buddy, Sorry to hear your getting pain. You should call the doctor just to make sure its nothing serious. Sounds like you may of pulled something, but I would have it checked just in case. I have been getting some cramping and pain but not too bad, I am due to go in next week to see Dr. Barajas. I hope its just from the exercising. I hope your okay let me know how you are. Hugs KimC

Hi Julio - I think it's a great idea to give both doctors a call - you are very wise to be concerned and get it checked out. I hope it's nothing and goes away for you...... Best Regards, Tammy

hi julio, please just be safe and talk to a doctor,,we need you around here,,,you....from what i read everyday are a great inspiration to everyone here,what a wonderful man you are.please take care....cyndee

You're not expecting, are you??? Yes, call your surgeon's office and talk to them. No matter how used to bariatric patients your PCP may be, your surgeon deals with it all day every day. Experts. Get yourself the best youcan. Peter

No, not expecting Peter, LOL . Will give my surgeon a call tomorrow. I'm pretty sure its just gas. Trying to figure out what has changed in my diet the past week that has set it off. Besides switching the flavor of crystal light I have been drinking. ( was drinking the green tea with mango, switched to sunrise orange) nothing else has changed. Will go with straigh****er for now and see how it goes. has subsided quite a bit for now but will keep an eye ( as well as an ear ) on it as well! Take Care, Julio

Glad to hear that it went away. Joe
