I'm so sorry. I'd call the doctor or whoever is on call---it seems to me most folks are constipated rather than have loose stool. Better to be safe.

Unless you've been taking laxatives call your dr ASAP.

I was banded on the 11th and had the same problem, and it turned out that I was fine -- but absolutely call your doctor. I would follow up with his/her office if you experience anything of concern -- that is what they are there for, and it's always better to be safe than sorry. Hope you feel better soon!

My experience is that you must be following your doctors orders of nothing but Clear Liquids. I bet you are drinking beef broth. It did that to me. In fact, the liquid diet kept me going, a lot. It will improve once you are taking something other than clear liquids. I found that I looked at it as a cleaning out time! Good luck on your journey. B)

Thankyou all I feel better today, I spoke to someone from my doctors office when they did a check in call on me and she didn't say anything. However my twin was banded the same day and she says shes still having bad chest pains, im not sure if its normal? Does anyone know if its normal, she keeps asking me if i have chest pain but mine is kinda under my breast radiating to my back.

I hope u feel better n I promise n time things will get better. as for the pain ur twin is having it sounds like its gas. tell her 2 try gas x strips n walk as much as possible. u got walk that gas out. I had real bad chest pains right after surgery (nov 21st) it felt like someone was sitting on my chest. I went 2 Icu they ran all sorts of tests it was just gas lol. happy holidays

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
