IBS After Being Sleeved



Recommended Posts

If you had IBS prior to surgery, how do you feel post-op? Do you find your symptoms are better or worse?

I don't have it but my hubby does. His is triggered by emotions.

It is horrible to have. I wish you well.

Thanks, Light_Lady and Michellemo! I hope and pray mine gets better! It's not really bad most of the time. But I think the stress of jumping through all the hoops to get insurance approval and the thought of surgery has triggered mine to be bad. I go from diarrhea to being constipated. It sucks. I'm also lactose intolerant and that doesn't help matters. Ugh! I just hope for improvement (or remission!).

Cheer moma, I sympathize with your hubby. Stress is my biggest trigger.

I am 3 yrs post-op and have recently been diagnosed with IBS, I seem to go alternating weeks of non-stop diarrhea and frustrating Constipation. In the last 11 days I have had 3 BMs and they weren't totally satisfying. I hesitate to break out the Miralax, I take flaxseed every day and nothing. But two weeks ago, I was going 4-5 times a day, quarts and quarts (sorry) of diarrhea. I eat clean, lots of veggies, fish, green tea, no sugar, no starch. Help!

The sleeve as taking my IBS away too. The doctor always said I didn't have it THAT bad please tell that to my constant upset stomach. But it's gone now and I couldn't be happier!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
