Hi folks,

So, I was banded on the 12th of this month and am 5 days post op. Last night I had a fever into this afternoon. The fever has passed but I have had diahrrea all day. Is that common? I'm trying to take in more liquids to make up for the lost liquid. Should I take something for the diahrrea? I wanted to go to the store, but I can only get but so far from the bathroom and also, any recommendations for a sore booty?

Liquids in= liquids out so the diarrhea is normal. Try taking a sitz bath or using some sort of diaper rash cream for the soreness.

Thanks for your response. That does make sense. I will slathering the desitin on until it clears up, I don't know why I didn't think of that. You're the best.

Yep, the runs are totally normal- don't take anything for them! I agree with diaper cream, or if you have Aquaphor, that works well too.

Try a probiotic powder (you can get them at the health food store). Sprinkle a capsule into your drink. It will put the good bacteria in your intestines after diarrhea.

I was banded March 9th, and I used the "0"calorie Powerade, or the smart water(with electolytes) to help me with the dirrhea. And keep me from getting completly dehydrated. Once I started on solids I ended up having the opposite problem for a couple weeks. Now, I think I am normal again, but I am suppose to get my 1st fill on Thursday so hopefully that whole process doesnt occur again lol Good Luck, it will pass, keep hydrated!!!

Yes-whatever you do stay hydrated. I had stomach flu a month or so after I was banded and the diahrrea was the worst I ever experienced in my life. Although I was drinking constantly I got dehydrated, and it lead to a UTI as well. :/
