HELP!!!!

I am 5 weeks post op and a few days ago I started feeling very sick to my stomach, no vomiting but my stomach feels bloated and when I eat or drink anything and it hits my stomach it feels like a big cramp.  This is hard to explain but once the crampy feeling passes it feels like a lead ball in my stomach.  I go to the hospital on Wednesday for my first follow up appointment.  Any suggestions???

You are five weeks post op and have not had a single follow up appt yet?  Why not?

Did you start eating or drinking something different a few days ago?  I think you need to call your surgeon Monday.  You may be developing a stricture.

Up here in Canada after the surgery they give you information to take home and read and you have to call the hospital to set up your appointments and when I called that was the soonest available appointment.  I did have a half a mouthful of beans but nothing else different, but I have not had a BM in a few days either.  I usually have one everyday or every two days.  I can't pass gas either and it feels like I need to have a big burp or something. Thank you for your comment Kelly.

Have you tried using Gas-X for the gas?  Also, are you using fiber supplements?  Those things might help you pass the gas and have a BM, but I strongly agree with Kelly - you need to be seen ASAP!  
Five weeks post-op for a f/u is not acceptable!  As a nurse who specializes in working in transitional care (patients transitioning from one care setting to another- i.e. hospital to home), I am appaled that your hospital is allowing this type of follow-up to take place.  You should file a complaint! Ok, off my soapbox now... 

Good luck!
