I have had issues with diarrhea since my surgery. I am going for a colonoscopy and endoscopy on Thursday. I am 13 months post op.

I had problems with constant diarrhea- then increased my carbs a little and it has lessened. Not fruits btw-did plenty of those-but complex carbs.

I have a stabbing pain in my gut and have narrowed it down to green onions. Before I figured it out I just laid on the bed in the fetal position til it passed ... Horrible

No sickness, discomfort or pain. Diagnosed with an ulcer at the anastomosis at about one year out. No pain or symptoms other than slight anemia. Follow-up test picked up a little blood in the stool. Endoscopy confirmed the ulcer. Surgeon increased my Prevacid from one capsule a day to two. Second endoscopy four months later and the ulcer was completely healed. Ulcers are not an uncommon complication following bypass but, more often than not, they respond well to treatment.
