Cramping in lower abdomen

Hello ladies and gents. It has been a while since I have posted anything. I am currently 7 months post-op, had a gastric bypass done. The past few days on and off I have had period like cramping in my lower abdomen. I get regular periods and I know it is not from my period starting. At time the pain is strong and others mild. 

I had emergency surgery 4 months out. Turns out I had a internal hernia and a small area of my bowels were twisted.

My question has anyone else experienced period like cramping? I do not know of I should be concerned again. I had my surgery's at HRRH with Dr.Starr

Thanks in advance for reading. Appreciate any advice received.

Is it the same kind of cramping/pain you had when you had the hernia? If you're concerned, definitely call.

It does not feel the same. My pain was more constamt before. Odd thing is when I went in to be checked out I met another lady who was post-op and there for the same reason. I have a high pain tolerance.

Weird. There are a bunch of things it "could" be, but I won't speculate. If it's hurting or just doesn't seem right, get it checked out. Keep us posted.

I am just over a month out, and feeling that, but much worse than period cramps.  For me, I think it's not getting enough water, so that things can "move". I have a follow-up in a few days, and then we'll see. I had Hagen, but then Starr did a second surgery 2 days after the first.

I think you should be concerned. You don't mess around with unidentified pain. Please have it checked out, get answers that you're satisfied with,and please let us know how you're doing.

I went to my local hospital and they blood plus x-rays. They all came back fine. Only thing she noted on the x-ray was I had a lot of stool in me. I have no issues with bathroom breaks and have been regular. They thought pain could be coming from that.
