Ok I had my gastric sleeve op on sep29. But I had already been having diarrhea for about a week before this. My surgeon did labs that came back neg for anything causing the diarrhea so he performed the surgery. I've gone to my dr. Who also ordered labs that also came back negative. I'm going back today because it's really annoying already. I've tried otc anti-diarrheal meds, tried eating things to bulk up but nothing holds. As soon as I eat or drink I'm on the toilet. Even when I don't consume anything I have to go and sometimes it's minutes apart. Any advice, suggestions, similar stories??? Anya

Thank you for your replies. Yes they've done a culture. I wouldn't be so concerned but I had this issue prior to my surgery. I've been eating some yogurt and I drink the Protein shakes once in a while. grannyof6

I would be more scared than anything. My surgeon told me of one of his patients that ate a piece of steak a month post op and died. Be careful and take care of yourself!!! Anya

I have a hardness about an inch in length along my incision. It feels like a piece of wood or hardened skin. Is this normal? grannyof6

@@Unbridled I can relate to migalo but wow the hardness under all incisions would really worry me even more than the one. Has a dr seen them?

@@migalo yes I believe you have described my exact incisions situation. Thank you all for replying
