Diarrhea and cramping after a fill



Recommended Posts

Has this happened to anyone? Does it mean my band may be to tight? I had a fill Wednesday and have had diarrhea, cramping since. Is it just a coincidence?

Sounds like maybe a stomach virus but shouldn't be relay\ted to your fill. As Mis73 said, call your surgeon's office.

There is a big virus going around that is all pooping...take an anit-diahrra med over the counter it will help. Most of us are constipated so enjoy the weight loss... :rolleyes:

Hmm yeah I wouldn't take an anti-diarrhea OTC medication. They are not the best thing to take.

Yes there is a virus going around but sometimes after a fill when we are on liquid diet for a few days...that can cause a more loose movement. I would be sure you actually have a virus before you screw with your digestion by taking an OTC medication.

I sometimes have a loose crampy feeling after a fill as my tummy adjusts to it and the diet stabilizes. It's not from being tight as much as it is adjusting to the change in the digestive track.

OTC anti-diahera meds always work for me. Call your Doctor and see his point of view.

      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. 🤞
