Spasms after surgery

I just had my surgery done 03/16/21. I had the gastric sleeve. Since then i have been having horrible spasms/cramping underneath my breast/diaphragm. They are sharp and go all the way across and even into my back. Has anyone else experienced this. I have read online else where this isn’t common for everyone but does happen. It’s not supposed to last forever a couple week maybe. My surgeon did give me a medication to help and it has eased them from sever to more mild. But i am still experiencing them especially when i eat. Any advice?
 
My surgeon has me on protonix for the reflux. I was talking to a neighbor who had RYBG about 16 years ago and she said she had the same kind of pains and they were muscle spasms from the surgery. She says they do go away eventually. I guess this is just something i will have to endure until it subsides.
