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

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
