I am 4 months out as of today and have a lower gi bug or something. I am in the bathroom every 5 mins. Can I take an Imodium or pepto??

You might want to put a call into your doctor but either of those should be fine. The main concern is not taking any medicine that can irritate the stomach. Those shouldn't.

Imodium is on my list of drugs I can take post-surgery. Pepto is on my list of drugs not to take. Not sure why.

I just talked to my drs office they said take Imodium is fine pepto is fine too, in by pass it can be a problem bc I can give you a gi bleed.

Good to know! My doctor's diet and medicine handouts lump sleeve and bypass together, and they have a separate one for band. I don't know why they don't just have three separate sheets.

bysmouth can be dehydrating. I have took it but immodium may work faster...you really need to concentrate on your fluids!!!! Consider a beef broth with gelatin for some additional protien.
