Question:
SPASMS IN STOMACH

I get these weird muscle spasms that make me feel like I have a knot. When I stay very still and let it subside it will go away, if I move the pain is severe and they are getting more common. Has anyone else had this 8 years after gastric bypass.    — ANNAJEAN (posted on September 26, 2011)

I don't have an answer for you, but I too have started having the same kind of problem, almost as if something is being squeezed or twisted. For me it has been happening about a month, so I am going for a CT Scan just to make sure everything is ok, I am 10 years post op. Best of luck to you, I'll keep watch to see if someone has an answer

Please see your physican...don't wait. It's much better to be safe than sorry. Any unexplained pain could be serious. Take it from me. I had my gastric bypass 2 years ago and have been totally fine since. Two weeks ago, I ended up having emergency gallbladder surgery. Symptoms started out of nowhere...just got a pain that went from my navel to under my ribcage. After about an hour, it kept getting worse, I started to get worried...so I went to the ER that same day and had surgery the next. Turns out it was gangrenous. My surgeon was very serious when he told me that if I had waited, I could have died. I'm still in shock that I hadn't had any pain, nausea or heartburn previously. I just believe that pain is our body's way of telling us that something's wrong. I wish you all the best.

i am almost 9 yrs post op and from th every beginning if i consumed more than 13 grms of sugar i would dump.the most severe stomache stomach spasms would insue,along with rapid heartbeat,sweating,nausea,faint feeling etc.no reprieve,i just had to wait until it passed.Sometimes vomiting and always explosive diahrea,and then a fe wdays of and irratated gut.There is NOTHING that tastes that good so i learned early on not to eat sugar.It is not difficult ,so many sugar free things and i do not crave sweets anymore anyway.I think you might need to have this checked it could be an telescoping colon or a partial obstuction or it may be caused by sugar,can you document what u consume right befor eit happens?Good luck i know not knowing is hard.
