I had seen on here that some people experience lactose intolerance post-op. Well, it appears to have happened to me. It is very upsetting to me because I LOVE milk and all dairy products.

My question: for those that had it start post-op...did it get better in time or did it continue to be a problem for you?

Thanks!

I also developed lactose intolerance post-op. I couldn't handle milk or whey products. I could eat yogurts, and reduced fat cheese without issue. I don't remember when I realized that milk didn't bother me anymore because I never liked milk. But, if I had to guess I'd say around 4-5 months out I could drink milk without any negative side effects. At this point, I can drink milk.
