my first response is "it's gas and will pass". my second response is - when does it happen? After you eat? Drink? or just all of the time? if it's after you eat/drink, it's probably gas, slow down and sip. if it's all the time and persists, talk to you doc.

I too have had these cramps/Pains. I went yesterday to see my Doctor and he says it is something with the nerve endings. He said that it will get better with the vitamins. Which I have not started being only 2 weeks post opp. However he did start me on them now. I think it is the B-12 that is suppose to help this.It sure sounds crazy to me. Every thing was doing great and then this pain just up and started. And some times I can hardley stand the shooting pain that I get.

I too have been getting which sound like the same thing. I also think it is gas related or I could be lactose intolerant. I've been taking GAS X and seems to help. I take it as soon as it starts. But ask your Dr. if 1st you can take it and 2nd what he thinks it might be. I have my appointment in April. Best of luck

It could be one of two things - gas or you are constipated. I had that pain for the entire 6 weeks after my surgery and on week 5 my doc asked if I could be constipated and I realized I was. I took Milk of Magnesia - cleaned everything out and guess what - pain and cramps were gone. Ask your doc for sure, but that was what worked for me.
