Guest guest Posted June 8, 2001 Report Share Posted June 8, 2001 Ellen: Joy, my wife, had pains out to two or three months post-op. They varied in type and intensity. None of hers were exactly like yours. But like yours they did come and go. One the surgeon said was due to his having to spread the ribs a bit when he removed the gall bladder. Others were simply unexplained. She felt that one was a muscle pull. But the good news is that they all went away on their own. And a little Vioxx. Expect some pains, and expect some to remain unexplained. And expect to get over it. Regards.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2001 Report Share Posted June 11, 2001 Hi, I had a sharp pain in my mid right side. It started slowly & got stronger. It was mostly if I took a drink while I was eating. It got to where I couldn't take even the smallest sip while I ate. It lasted about 3-4 weeks & went away. It's never come back. Could be healing inside or scar tissue or something.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 So, for about the past 4 days or so everything I put in my mouth (including water, crystal light, and any food) goes right through me. As soon as I swallow it, my stomach starts cramping up and I better get to the bathroom quick. I don't think I have a bug...other than being really tired from starting my graveyard shift job on Sunday night. Any ideas anyone?

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Hi Tina gosh i dont know what the heck that is all about, not a good thing for sure. Sometimes if i slack off on my water i get weird like that, or if i am a little consitpated but normally its not like that, i was wondering how your new job was going ! colleenTina wrote: So, for about the past 4 days or so everything I put in my mouth (including water, crystal light, and any food) goes right through me.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Tina, I run a in home daycare and just wanted you to know there has been a stomach bug going around for over 3 weeks now, some people let it out at one end, others the other end and some both, seems to last 5 to 7 days. Not sure if this is what you have or not, all the daycare parents who had it said they didn't feel real bad just a little tired and they all went to work. The children who had it complained of a stomach ache before one end or the other it came. So stay on simple foods and water. If this is what it is eating fatty foods , heavy foods, dairy, just keep the problem coming. Broths, jello, popsicles, then when it seems better increase your intake, kinda like after surgery. If it keeps happening past 7 days, see your doctor.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2005 Report Share Posted September 27, 2005 Tina, I have IBS, and you pretty much have described what that is like. It usually doesn't last four days for me, but in unusually stressful conditions, it can. A prescription medication called Bentyl helps some. Call the doc!

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 I also have IBS and the Bentyl is a wonderful drug. Keep in mind to stay away from anything acidic.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Tina, I am not sure what is going on neither should I attempt to give you advice. What I can tell you is that periodically my tummy gets aggiated and I take the Carafate. My surgeon that that I might be one of those people were my pouch gets aggitated (a lot of people's do). The stomach is constantly changing and sometimes it can get overworked just like any other part of our body. It could be too much liquid...sometimes happens. It could be a great deal of time since the last time you put food in your tummy or it just might be a bug. If you get overly concerned, call the surgeon. I hope you feel better.
