Hi all I have had, so embarrassing...a leaking bowel since day two after my op. I am now day five.. I go to sleep and I wake up and it has just leaked out of me...I don't feel like it was after I have passed wind or anything.. I have been very careful with anything that goes in my mouth. I am only taking in 10 grams of protien powder at meal. Not eating any sugar or fat..mostly just pain meds, Water, a few ounces of black Decaf tea with a tiny bit of skim milk. chewable vitamins. Ect... Please don't tell me this is normal...running out of pads and self esteem..any clues guys....please......also I have an off and on temp since day two of surgery...makes me shake n chiver

Wow damn girl... Idk what to say. You haven't mention anything strange. I think you should buy adult diapers incase accidents at night but I would call the surgeon about this. I have t heard if this. I got the vomiting for a month it stoped then at 3 months vomiting 1 week till they found out my stomach closed up & I wasn't. Able to keep food down at all. Call the surgeon ASAP liquid poop is dehydration

Call surgeon...primarily because you have a fever. I had back surgery, was on antiobiotics beforehand.and they didn't think it was possible...it is, it got MUCH worse, make that call!! Infections can be picked up many ways and are unfortunately normal, but you need to treat them...

Are you taking Fiber? My nut has me on the Benefiber equivalent twice a day. Fiber supplements actually help get rid of diarrhea but definitely call that Dr!

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
