Just got home from the hospital!

 I had my WLS on Saturday.  I had the VSG, and the doctor said everything went perfectly.  Yesterday, Sunday, I was already having regrets due to the extreme pain I was having.  I was just put on my clear liquid diet today and OKed for my full liquids tomorrow, and its been pretty good so far.  My biggest concern is the stomach spasms.  I asked the doctor and all he said was that they were normal.    So I am wondering, did anyone else have this issue, how long did it last, and was there anything I can do to calm it?  I am only taking in about 1oz at a time of water or broth with protein.  Any tips?

The first couple of days can be a bit rough, but it gets better quickly. I think the pain for me was a lot less after two or three days. I was low energy the first week, but feeling a lot better by the second week.

Your doc should be able to give you a prescription for the spasms.  1 oz at a time is good...just sip slowly and do it all day.  You'll be feeling better in no time.

Congrats on your new sleeve!

Oh, oops. I misread your post.

Congratulations getting sleeved! I am not sure if my pain is the same as yours but I realized that I would get them more when I sip fast on any liquids this will be day 9 for me and it is so much better. Also make sure you do lots of lil walks that helps too.

 The doctor gave me Bentyl, which I take every 6 hours. It keeps everybody in the digestive department pretty calm, which I appreciate!! The first days are tough but you really will feel better soon! 

Sorry, no tips but I do sympathize with you. Those spasms are horrible but eventually it goes away. Good luck to you & congratulations on your surgery!!!

My doctor I love her so much she perscribed 7 different meds for just in case  before I even had my surgery so they were at home and waiting for me.  I used the 4 out of the 7 every day for the first 3 days then I went off them,  made such a difference specailly the anti spasmotic cause that sucked......     I could only do 1 oz at a time of anything , and it hurt to do that ......  i was drinking around the clock  jsut trying to get my fluids in.     its been 5 days and today I can already drink more at a time,  so you should be feeling better in a couple of days. 
the anti spasmodic she perscibed was Levison .....  works wonders

Hi Lauren,

Congratulations on getting sleeved. The spasms will go away in a few days or so however; I took tylenol for my pain it helped but take only one at a time about 15 minutes apart with a sip of liquid. It may hurt a little going down but it will pass. The first week was very difficult and there were times when I regretted it all but it gets better. Make sure that you're sipping on liquids throughout the day and moving around because it helps.

Yes, those stomach spasms were very wierd!

My surgeon prescribed Hyoscyamine Sulfate 0.125MG sublingual. One every four hours as needed.

It work great and took care of the issue completely.
