Ok...so I ended up in the hospital dehydrated over the weekend. Its not that I'm not getting enough liquids because I was drinking plenty. The problem was that everything I would eat or drink would go straight through me. For almost two weeks I've been dealing with this. I think I started with a small virus and I just never got rid of the diahrea. Has anyone else experienced this?? I'm drained. Cant take much more.

Might want to see a doctor for some labs you might have some intestinal bug that could easily be treated with antibiotics

Ok so I had this in the begenning too and ended up getting IV fluids 5 times. If you end up with burning diarrhea or intestinal pain, go to your doc and get a fecal sample done...I ended up with C-dif. and didn't know it and because I had it so long, the antibiotic was like $900 =/. He also told me to take a bulk forming Fiber supplement until the runs would stop.

Hope it get's better for you! =]

I did get a script for antibiotics. Haven't started them yet. They did do labs and nothing showed up. The dr on call said it sounded like maybe an infected colon from having it too long. They didn't do a stool sample I guess since I never went to the restroom. I'm hoping this gets fixed soon. I can't eat much and I try to just drink all day.

I went to the ER because I almost passed out.

Bulk forming fiber supplement??? Can u give me an example? My dr told me (before I went to ER) to take a stool hardener. I can't swallow the pill though. It gags me

      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.
