Loose stools

Hello - I'm about 1.5 year post op band to sleeve. I've lost and kept off about 60 lbs and am pleased with result. However - pretty much every bowel movement I have is like water. I've even had a couple "accidents." Is this normal? I can't remember the last time I had a normal bm. Any thoughts ideas appreciated! Thanks

I am at two years today and only had loose stools only until I got on soft foods. Prior to my sleeve I fought diverticulitis for years, which caused frequent bouts of diarrhea. You definitely should mention this to your doctor, as it may be totally unrelated to you revision. Even if you have a colonoscopy, you will live to tell about it. They give you a drowsy nap while they are working on you, then you wake up and have someone drive you home

Did you have your gall bladder out? I had mine out years ago [i am not yet sleeved]. I now have bile acid malreabsorbtion [bAM for short]. They have me on cholestamine [usually prescribed for lowering cholesterol]. It is a powder to add to water or juice. It is rare that this happens after gall bladder removal.

I used to have horrible IBS, couldnot help me and I love milk, went of milk, besides greek yogurt, no more IBS
