Weird Thing Just Happened an in Pain

Stomach any better Keith?  that is a strange one

100 oz of water...hmmmm I'm going to try this

Feeling Better Now, still feel it just not as intense. I am eating my lunch now so hopefully that will get the rest out. Thank you for your concern.

 

Yes the water will help you through a stall. Most stalls are caused by retaining water for one reason or another.

Just wanted to see how your stomach is doing? Hope you're feeling better! ((HUGS))

Keith, how are you now?  If you are still feeling pain, and it's been an hour or more, you might want to think about getting in touch with a doctor.  I hope you are getting better and it was just a "stuck" episode.  Strange.

Yeah not so sure now. The feeling started to subside a bit and I ate my lunch (chili) thinking that could only help move whatever was stuck along and now I am in pain again. My VSG doc is in Mexico so that won't help much. If this continues I will go to the hospital. I am pretty far out now so I can't imagine this is a leak. I have not eaten much at all today so its not residual food. I am burping a lot and water makes it worse which I would think is pointing to something stuck. I took Prevacid last night so I don't think it is stomach acid. I am afraid to drink more water but at the same time it might unstick whatever is stuck or it might make me vomit which could bring whatever is stuck up too. I am in uncharted waters here.

STOP.  Don't drink or eat anything else for a bit.

Hi Keith -

Just checking in to see if your pain has gotten better by now ? Feel better

Yes just a few minutes ago. Thank you for checking in on me.

I wanted to say that first so that you wouldn't eat or drink anything while I was still typing.  My though is it could be just a foamies type of issue, in which case don't eat or drink anything because you can't pu**** down, it just makes it much worse and takes longer to resolve if you eat or drink.  The other possibility is a stricture, and again, you don't want to eat or drink anything right now,  Keep an eye on it for another hour, unless it gets very painful.  If it continues past that, go to the hospital and tell them your situation.  You might want to do a little research and find a hospital near you that does WLS, they will understand this better.
