I have no idea why they said not to take it. I have been allowed after every surgery I've had which is 3. Here's some links I found and I hope it helps. Oh and they do make a liquid version too if that would help you.

I found some articles but it won't let me post the links to them just google medications after bariatric surgery and it should pop up a link to obesity help and it mentions that immodium is a safe medication after bariatric surgery to combat diarrhea.

Once the food leaves your stomach it shouldn't matter. Don't know why Dr would object?

I'm having the same problem. I was on MOM for two days and then have stopped bc my bowels are working JUST fine. I'm supposed to go back to work tomorrow, but I think I'm going to be in the bathroom half the day. Has the Ammodium helped?

yes, the imodium seems too (but also am taking one align (capsule/open and dump insides into a drink to swallow) and that has seemed to help (calm) down the runs....so far that is...

      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.
