[Martinarquero 0]

Had my sleeve on may 1 2012, and it has been more than I expected, I had one of my entries infected, then 3 weeks after surgery had to go back to the hospital very dehydrated, with headaches and fever, that was two weeks ago, I have been on pure food and Soups for the past 2 weeks, used to have terrible headaches after I ate any chicken pate that is al gone, energy is getting better, not feling as sick as before, but I have notice that in the past week and a half every time I go to the bathroom almost every day, my poop has a very light color, not white but light yellow, it's not to soft, but not like the first weeks were it was much more brown and Water like, also since Sunday I get stomach pain nothing to bad and it comes and goes, I'm taking my nexium every morning and melox before any meal, Dr. Sayed to do these since they had to deal with a big hernia from years of acid reflux.

My doctor is 4 houers away in Mexico were I had the operation.

Any one has any ideas? Is these normal? I'm easily freaked since I've never had health issues before, except for my back (way I had the sleeve in the first place, to avoid back surgery), and also I am a bit anal

Yellow Stool

Yellow stool can indicate that food is passing through the digestive tract relatively quickly. Yellow stool can be found in people with GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). Symptoms of GERD include heartburn, chest pain, sore throat, chronic cough, and wheezing. Symptoms are usually worse when lying down or bending. Foods that can worsen GERD symptoms include peppermint, fatty foods, alcohol, coffee, and chocolate.

Yellow stool can also result from insuffient bile output. Bile salts from the liver gives stool its brownish color. When bile output is diminished, it often first appears as yellow stool. If there is a greater reduction in bile output, stool lose almost all of its color, becoming pale or grey.

If the onset is sudden, yellow stool can also be a sign of a bacterial infection in the intestines.

My stool is very acidic yellow and my doc said it was ok, just my body relearning my new digestive process without much Fiber. It should resolve as our diet evolves. Still ask your doctor for advice because we are all different.

I sent him an email, already and I'm waiting for a reply, but last time I was in the hospital they did a not sure of the name if is a cat scan, but basically is like an MRI for the organs to see my stomach and be sure there wasn't any leek, and all was alright, except for a hematoma in the liver, that the Dr said it wasn't any thing to worry about, most people that have these surgery will have them just by moving the liver around, so I hope is just like lizzieshade says and is a normal part of the healing.

Still worried do!

In the event that it is a bile problem, are there solutions for it?
