So I've had constant diarrhea for the most part post op. Not dumping. Stool sample tests came back negative but there were white blood cells in it so I'm going to have to get a colonoscopy. (Which sucks, I did one pre op too). I'm nervous and freaking out. No idea what it could be (besides an infection of some sort).

Hmmm my surgeon told me that it is normal to have constant diarrhea post op. maybe they are doing the colonoscopy bc of other risk factors?

I send you my best wishes! Good luck.

I had diahrea post op for 6 months straight. Mine was cured by taking my B12 sublingual. My doc said there was No medical explanation for it. I can tell the days I do not take it as I have diahrea.

I've had constant diarrhea since surgery. I am lactose free. Get all my Protein & fluids in-it just explodes out the other end! I so hope thi is not my life now. Curious what your doctor has to say after all the testing.

      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.
