5 days post sleeve surgery---water diarrhea



Recommended Posts

OK all..can I please ask if loose watery stools post sleeve is normal? They tested my stool for C-Diff and it was negative. I'm on full liquid diet. Everything I put into me comes right out. Sorry for the tmi. But wonder if anyone has had this too? How long will it last? Thanks

Not me. I've had a yellow pasty poo since surgery.

I had that exactly, lasted about 2 weeks then went away, the doctor said it was okay but just to make sure you don't get dehydrated :-)

I had very watery diarrhea for the first week. It wasn't the greatest time of my life, but at least I knew everything was moving on through. Things got normal quick after that and now it's keeping enough Fiber in to avoid Constipation. :)

A small price to pay for a healthier lifestyle.

Hang in there!

Its getting better. But still there. Just not as frequent. How are you? I'm ready for something besides clear/full liquid

I had that too! It gets much better, I still have it on occasion (as they say, Never trust a fart LOL) but not nearly as much. On of my friends had surgery 3-years ago, she assures me it will stop completely.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
