Stomach Spasms??
Hey everyone! So far since I have been banded everything was ok up until about Wed. night. After I drank something I would experience these horrible spasms in my stomach around the port. I met my doctor today and he took 3 cc out of my band. He banded me with 5 cc! But although some of the reflux has stopped this spazzing hasn't. Any ideas of what this could be? I have tried drinking my fluids at room temp and that has helped some. I am hoping I will not have to have my band removed!!!!

It's WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY too early to think about having your band removed. You just got it! You are healing right now and you may even need more fluid removed. I had no fluid in mine for 3 months. I lost 30 pounds in those 3 months. Keep your surgeon updated on how you are doing and if the spasms continue.
I am no expert to be sure but, how fast are you drinking your beverages? Once you have the band, drinking beverages as fast as one might have done in the past is not a good idea. You need to eat and drink at a slower pace. No guzzling. also, are you drinking soda pop, carbonated beverages? I always understood this to be a huge "no-no".
