I'm post op day 4, I'm having some bowel issues and struggling to get in my protein, but over all pain and energy wise I feel pretty good. I even ventured to Walmart today. Best wishes to everyone!!!

Thank you all so much!!! My family just brought in some liquid immodium praying that will help!!!

Okay friends I am so sorry for this tmi post but I'm 4 days post op and as soon as I put anything in I have to go to the bathroom. My information from my surgeon says I can take immodium so after going several times I sent a family member to get some, and the dosing reads after loose stool take one tablet and after every additional loose still take one, I took 3 yesterday and still ended up pooping my brains half the night, then today the same viscous cycle. My friends and family say I need to stop taking the immodium because I'm going to cause a bowel obstruction but this morning I literally had a accident in my bed because it was so loose I couldn't make it to the bathroom! I'm so sorry this is tmi but idk what to do!!! Thank you so much

My surgeon really stressed that it could be a issue. I had never heard of it before either. My surgeon seemed very sure it could be a real problem. I'm gonna mention it again, then after that just keep to myself! Thank you all so much!

I just got sleeved on Wednesday and I live with my grandparents, my Mamaw is a smoker and my dr scared me that I couldn't be around her because of the second hand smoke could cause a leak. I explained everything to her and tried to make her understand, then this morning I get up and go to the living room and I hear her lighting up in the kitchen. Idk what to do, I have fri mad who have offered to let me stay there but I have son and idk how logical it would be to uproot him for 6 weeks. I'm panicking and so scared I'll leak and it hurts me so bad she couldn't stop smoking for me or at least go outside. So now I'm hulled up in my bed with a towel under the door and my window open.

I hope you get your approval soon!!!! Best wishes to you!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
