I haven't been sleeved yet, but I suffer with IBS and the surgeon says there should be no issue with being sleeved.

I have IBS and have been sleeved for 11 months. I have not had a single flare up since I had surgery. I think because we are very regulated on what we should eat, that I am not eating the stuff that would have set me off in the past. I have been very surprised actually.

I am a month post op and have had a couple ibs issues. My doc said the sleeve doesn't fix ibs but some find it easier to control after surgery bc, as others have said, you're less likely to eat trigger foods. For me it's more about stress though, so I do still have issues.

I don't know if I have it? I have a bm usually runny (tmi) sorry about 30 min after I eat and it's color (tmi again) is not 'normal' but rather yellowish---- have it it forever mentioned to dr's but no one seems to care lol

Even after 2oz of egg or cheese I'm still doing it --- is that ibs? Do u take meds? Anything I can do or what type if dr do I go to

It could quite possibly be IBS but it also could be caused by an allergy to something you are eating regularly. It could be a dairy thing. I am 10 months out and I have a similar problem when I have dairy. If you are really concerned you need to sit down with your primary care physician and make him/her hear your concerns. That is what they are there for.

      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. 🤞
