This morning I woke and had to have a bowel movement bad. It was loose and very large (I know TMI,but...) After I did I got HORRIBLE/SEVERE cramps and burning, started sweating profusly (dripping off of my face) and then started dry heaving for the next 5 minutes. It turned into a burning sensation from my pouch down and is still not feeling right. Does anyone know what happened or experienced anything similar? It was 12 hours since I had eaten so it shouldn't have been anything like that.

You and I have lost about the same amount of weight following our surgeries.  I must say that I have never experienced anything like what you describe in your post.  Oh, sure, there have been the occasional cramps and the seemingly stone-hard stools, but never the sort of pain you had.  Or the sweating.

I think it advisable for you to schedule a meet with your PCP and discuss this.  There are probably a host of reasons that would explain it, but the problem is, most of those explanations would be bad.

What you NEVER want to hear from a doctor is something like, "Gee, I wish you had come to me with this six months ago."

Sounds to me more like some kind of stomach virus. I second the PCP visit if you are still feeling bad. Or at least a call...

I had the SAME thing (minus the heaving--instead I kept running for the bathroom all day) 4 days ago.  It passed fairly quickly (an hour or so) but then the rest of the day I just felt blah and not right.  Debated calling the dr. and didn't.  Glad I didn't 'cause I was better the next day.  I second that this is our new "stomach bug" symptoms.  The hot/flushing/sweating was pretty scary!!

Wow, weird. I had something similar just today. Tired all day, just didn't feel right. Had a bit of a stomach ache, went to the bathroom and did my thing, but had to push a little. Felt sweaty, nauseous and miserable. Went straight to bed, curled up in the fetal position, was suddenly cold but could not move. Then I felt like I had to go again. I dragged myself back to the bathroom, but nothing. Still nauseous with body aches and my head pounding, I went back to bed. Fell into an uncomfortable sleep for about an hour, then woke up and now I'm just fine. A 3 hour stomach flu? Severe dumping? Although I didn't eat anything out of the norm. Good luck to you!
