Hi all!!

I had my VSG a little more than 10 months ago now!! For the last month I have been getting cramps and more recently they have been happening on a daily basis and seem to be getting harder to deal with!! Has anyone else ever had this happen and if so what did you do to stop it!! So sick of being in pain and welcome all advice!!

Thank you in advance!!

Do you mean GI tract cramps or muscle cramps?

I've been getting them pretty regularly since surgery, though the last few days have been better. I notice that if I get anything with any sugars in it, that makes it worse - almost like dumping as I also got queasy - so I've become extra vigilant about that. My nut said it may also be lactose intolerance which some people develop post sleeve. If you haven't already done so, you might want to track your foods and see if there is any relationship between what you're eating and when the cramping hits or when it's worse.

I agree with what's been posted but feel that I should add...a month is a long time and now that it's daily...maybe a call to your doctor is warranted.  Hope you can figure it out and get it to stop.  take care 

Highest Wt: 264, band May '05, pre sleeve wt 235, current 189, personal goal 140
