Yup, to take the words of carolinagirl, only liquid going in......only liquid going out. Makes sense.

I had it really bad for a couple of days, about 7-9 days post-op. And it was BAD. But it subsided, and now at 10 weeks out, I have the reverse issue :huh:

I was pretty bad during week 1 and 2 of my preop liquids then I didn't go at all the third week. then about 3 days post op it started up again.

I asked my dr today and he said imodium was fine.

its just that its so unexpected when it happens.. :-) guess if I still have it when I go back to work on Monday I will have extra clothes!

      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.
