After just two weeks I think that's still normal. Fluid in fluid out :)

Sorry, three weeks. I had those issues until I started solids. But if you're very concerned, a call to the dr never hurt ;) good luck!

I hate to say this but maybe you should check to be sure you didn't pick up c-diff in the hospital. I would call your doctor just to be on the safe side.

A change in smell is common after surgery. The food doesn't spend as long in our stomach so the color and odor are different than what we're used to. I know (TMI!!) mine smelled like baby poo until I'd been on solids for awhile and every now and then it still reminds of that. If the smell bothers you they make stuff you put in the toilet (a couple of drops before you go) and its supposed to block the smell. Just a Drop is one, PooPourri is another. I haven't tried them since my smell kinda stopped and I stay at home but my mother uses it at work and says it works fine :)

I had it and just chalked it up to the healing process. Mine cleared up, but it certainly wouldn't hurt to check with your dr :)

      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.
