Bloody stool

Sorry for the TMI.

I am 5 weeks post surgery. No issues getting in Water, Protein or Vitamins. I go to the bathroom once a day.

I'd say at least 4-5x I have noticed blood on my stool. Years ago I had that happen and after colonoscopy they determined internal hemroids, suggested I change my diet. Well as of now I am eating the best I have ever eaten in my life. Should I be concerned? Any similar experiences?

Thanks

I would call your doctor and have it checked just to make sure that it's nothing serious.

I agree. Having WLS changes everything. We have to be especially attentive to any sort of tummy issues. From where the food enters to where it exits. We are not the "normal" patient. I would call either your surgeon or doctor but whoever you do see make sure they know of your surgery it changes everything. They are likely to be more attentive and less dismissive. Good Luck!!
