I received my sleeve 3and a half months ago, My journey thus far has been uneventful.The past two months thought I have noticed that every 2-3 weeks I have an episode of abdominal cramping with many many bowel movements ending in loose bowel movements it has also been accompanied by vomiting. It usually lasts 2-3 hours and I can't stray that far from the bathroom. The last three times it occurred it was always in the morning. I can not link it with a certain food or any other type of trigger. Since my sleeve I do not have regular bowel movements at all. I am wondering if this is some sort of delayed dumping syndrome? This morning it started before I even had breakfast so there was nothing in my stomach. I am wondering if I took a GI stimulant once or twice a week to remain more regular if this wouldn't happen anymore. It is almost as if the colon waits till it become completely full and then purges it all in a few hours. Has anyone Else had this experience? If so did you find anything that helped?

Hmmm, I would definitely talk to your surgeon about this. Probably fine, but better safe than sorry.

I was in the middle of trying to answer you and had to run to the bathroom!! Hehe I'm back yes this is happening to me too not the throwing up thing though... I'm 4 months out and I'm starting to feel like a hypercondriac lately because several strange unexplained health issues recently.. Including the stomach issues... I'm hoping that my new found bad health days will not be a forever thing!

I could have written this post exactly to every sentence. I have experienced the exact same problems for 2-3 weeks. Went to surgeon about it and he thinks its very uncommon and is stumped, running some blood tests and hopefully that might tell a story. Over the past 3 days since I saw my surgeon I have experienced 2 "gallbladder attacks" (I am pretty certain this is what I am experiencing). So I am thinking the two could be linked? Bowel problems are a sign of gallbladder disease. Gutted cos I dont want to go through another op!!!
