Is it common with crohns to have stomach contractions or spasams?

Yes, and they are usually signs of a severe blockage. When the bowel becomes blocked anything you ingest including water will add to the backed up digested matter and gases. Eventually nothing will leave the stomach causing a severe bloating, cramping and contraction of the stomach. If you are experiencing these symptoms you need to seek immediate emergency care.

How often is bariatric surgery for Crohns patients needed?
The best I can tell you is that bariatric programs with a large number of patients and with long-term follow-up may be able to offer statistics of patient numbers with Crohns. I am aware that a study was planned in 2006 but I have not been able to find the results. Bariatric surgery for Crohns patients would likely be low since active Crohns disease causes rapid weight loss and nutritional deficiencies. Doctors often recommend that patients with severe Crohns beef up a little as a hedge against the next crisis. Morbidly obese Crohns patients are not common.
