I had gastric bypass surgery about 4 years ago, and I'm experiencing random extreme muscle cramps in my stomach.
It feels like when you are kick hard in the stomach, knocking the wind out of you.
For me, its been getting steadily worse. It usually starts with a dull tightness in a band in the tummy area, just below the ribs. This builds for the next 5-10 mins to its peak, then provided I can relax, begins to fade and disappear in 5 to 10 mins.

Over the last month, this has increased in pain, to the point I need to steady myself and concentrate hard to stay conscious. I see darkness and stars over the last 3 events, even suffering extreme weakness in the legs, nearly dropping me. I'm getting scared about this and afraid to tell my wife this new level of pain. She gets very scared for my health and this would drive her nuts.

I've brought this up with my surgeon on several occasions, but he hasn't run across anything like this. I'd really like to figure out the cause so I get get it remedied.

This is completely random, I have not been able to tie it to any food, exercise, activity, or anything.


Thanks for any direction for this.
