Ok had the same thing. Dr said it was too much bile going into the gut causing loose stools, diarrhea and foul, very foul smelling stool. Dr gave me colestipol prescription granules and all of it disappeared overnight so after months and months of all this, the colestipol stopped it in one day. Anyway I now am down to once or twice a week taking the colestipol and I am normal again. No diarrhea, no loose stool, no foul smelling stools and no more very foul constant gas etc no nothing. Ps if I don’t take granules at least once a week it will come back in 2-3 days all the foul everything. But once I take it again it goes away in a day. The exact name of my prescription is colestipol hydrochloride for oral suspension 500 grams

I had gastric sleeve in 2015 and never had problems with sulfur type smelling foul gas / stool. Then I had a hiatal hernia in November 2020, that the surgeon repaired and at the same time revised me from a sleeve to a bypass, now I’m having very bad passing of this very foul smelling gas and stool. Dr gave me prescription Colestipol Hydrochloride granules to stop extra bile from going into the large intestine. When I took it everything went away and I was ok. He also scheduled me for a specialized SIBO test?, small intestine bacteria test, to make sure overgrowth of bad bacteria is not growing in the small intestine, hope this helps everyone on this forum.

Me too I’m 4 years out and stay at around 1500 - 1700 calories a day

Remember this is a life altering surgery that can go wrong from day one to 10 years post op. Kaiser being so big if you don’t get a good feeling on the surgeons in your area Kaiser being big you can see a doctor that makes you comfortable from another area / region the classes will go by quickly

I looked up dumping syndrome two weeks ago and reactive hypoglycemia came up there are I believe two tests I’m going to ask for them thank you Catwoman ?

Thanks Cowgirl I was thinking the same thing early off I was eating and drinking at the same time. When I stopped drinking while eating I would wait the 30-60 mins but i wouldn’t drink at all or drink very little I will start a log

But it still feels like I’m low on something and or deficient on vitamins, protein, mineral or fluid intake. I’ve lost 100 pounds total since my surgery in 2015.

2 months ago I felt dizzy and started to get weak and tired. the doctors ran a bunch of tests and bloodwork everything looks good. I’m 4 years post op sleeve and still feel weak and tired, When I take iron I feel better but doctors say I’m not anemic ......

Remember don’t eat and drink at the same time

Me too I want to lose 10 more pounds

That’s really a good sign just stay the course on liquids, then purée I was same way I hated food on day 1 just ate my sugar free popsicles but keep a journal for sure
