I have had a tummy ache for three days now... Not sure if I need to take something and make myself go to the bathroom or what,. I guess before I go to bed I will take something and hopefully it will be over with when I wake up in the morning.  Always worries me because you never know if it is, just a tummy ache.   I'm 15 weeks post op.

Are you able to drink water?  Make sure to keep your hydration levels high to avoid dehydration.  Are you able to eat?  Even though you're eating less, make sure you're having bowel movements.

With being 15 weeks post-op, it would be a good idea to call your surgeon and explain what you're feeling along with details of drinking, eating and describe the tummy ache. 

Please let us know how you're feeling and if you call your surgeon, what he says.

Take care!!!

I'm able to eat, and drink... He hurts regardless if I eat or don't eat..  I'm actually fixing to go takes some MOM and see if that helps anything but I am pretty regular so I'm not sure if that is the problem or not.  I started using the Calcium Chews and wondering if that could be it.  Hopefully I will feel better tomorrow.  I noticed I am belching alot this afternoon ... 

 

Thanks again

Sorry just saw your post, I am still hurting, tried calling doctor this morning and they closed at 11 am.  I just missed them so I will try again in the morning.  I feel somewhat better today not the tummy ache as before, its still letting me know its there but not as bad.   I haven't been able to drink much today and I don't  really want any food.  Going to try some MOM again tonight before I go to bed and see if it helps.   I only did 2 TBSP the other night and it didn't do anything for me.   Should I take 4TBSP?  That stuff is awfully sweet..  Hoping I will feel better tomorrow and get back on track.. I know I don't drink enough, I have never been a drinker and I'm just never thirsty.
