I haven't been sleeved yet, but I suffer with IBS and the surgeon says there should be no issue with being sleeved.

I have IBS and have been sleeved for 11 months. I have not had a single flare up since I had surgery. I think because we are very regulated on what we should eat, that I am not eating the stuff that would have set me off in the past. I have been very surprised actually.

I am a month post op and have had a couple ibs issues. My doc said the sleeve doesn't fix ibs but some find it easier to control after surgery bc, as others have said, you're less likely to eat trigger foods. For me it's more about stress though, so I do still have issues.

I don't know if I have it? I have a bm usually runny (tmi) sorry about 30 min after I eat and it's color (tmi again) is not 'normal' but rather yellowish---- have it it forever mentioned to dr's but no one seems to care lol

Even after 2oz of egg or cheese I'm still doing it --- is that ibs? Do u take meds? Anything I can do or what type if dr do I go to

It could quite possibly be IBS but it also could be caused by an allergy to something you are eating regularly. It could be a dairy thing. I am 10 months out and I have a similar problem when I have dairy. If you are really concerned you need to sit down with your primary care physician and make him/her hear your concerns. That is what they are there for.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
