Is it safe to take pepto, or Imodium AD after being sleeved?

I have had severe diarrhea since the surgery and will be going back to work on Monday, I dont want to be out of work any longer while the figure out why this is going on. I cant go to work with diarrhea because I work out on the road all day, and unfortunately the company car does not have a bathroom.

I don't see why not, but I'd ask your doctor just to be safe.

Also, I don't know when you had your surgery, but once you are on soft foods, the diarrhea will most likely go away. Most people seem to have it during the liquid stage.

According to my bariactric surgery patient binder Imodium is ok. I've been taking them almost daily

I have been on purred food for a couple weeks and it has not gotten better, I have started using lactose free milk, but that has not really helped either. On of life most embarrassing moments the other day when I had to drop a sample off to the surgeons office so they could get it annualized.

I am mostly concerned because although I am drinking 75 ounces of Water per day, I am not urinating that often or that much, and its still bright yellow, yet I have extremely watery diarrhea. I'm wondering if I am dehydrated due to the diarrhea? I just called my doctors office and asked if I could take some Imodium AD, I am waiting for them to call back now.

i had terrible diarrhea in the hospital and took an imodium as soon as i got home. no problem and it really helped!

I asked the doctor, the answer I got was that he put me on flagil, and Metamucil, if its not better by Monday when I leave for work I'm going to take Imodium AD.

My doctor had me taking Pepto every 6 hours for 2 weeks after my surgery.Not because of indigestion or anything like that, but because I had the H. Pylori bacteria. I don't think Pepto is harmful after the sleeve because if it was why in the world would my doctor put me on it?? Plus his office told me to take Imodium when I couldn't get the diarrhea to stop.

Pepto is a nsaid so I was told no

It will get much better once you get to solid foods, if that helps any. You'll probably have the opposite problem.

I remember during my first 2 weeks when I was still home, I was worried to even go out to Target because my tummy was so unpredictable. I started on soft foods at 3 weeks but my soft foods included deli meats, eggs, tuna.
So there is an end in sight!! Good luck to you.
