I'm 2 years out of surgery and been having bad bouts of diarrhea (specifically 3 in the last 3 months). I've noticed a trend.... After I eat raw vegetables. It lasts about 24 hours with severe cramping each time. I guess I'm just wondering if this is in any way surgery related or just something else. I've never had these problems pre surgery.

It could possibly be your gall bladder if you still have it... Those are very common symptoms especially with raw vegetables. Mine made me think I was having a heart attack every time I ate raw vegetables. Definately something to ask your Dr. about.

Had my gallbladder out before my sleeve but thanks for the input.

That's probably not it then! LOL! I hope you figure it out though. Sounds miserable!

Hi Belle, I would definately get it checked.

Overall, I don't have serious digestive problems BUT, pre-sleeve i had a stomach of steel. Now, I am much more prone to diarea or other digestive upsets. I am quite sure it is related to the sleeve... but in isn't frequent, it is pretty much always tied to dairy or Protein drinks so i can manage it. It would disturb me alot if it were caused by veggies though because that is a mainstay of my maintenance diet - I personally would discuss it with my surgeon.
