Hello. Sorry about the TMI, but maybe someone here knows an answer. I am usually constipated.. It's normal for me.. BUT the last week has been completely different. Every time I eat I get the urge to go to the bathroom. I get this urgency, I start sweating and even nauseous. I had my gastric sleeve revision from lapband in December and this is new.. Anyone experience this?

I have the same problem and went a whole week with the urge and sensations of needing to go to the bathroom but couldn't. I take Fiber pills daily and drink tons of Water. I also am walking which has helped me. I hope this helps with you because I know it is no fun.

Hi I am 5 plus months post op sleeve and have had great sucsess. Down 70 pounds as of today. I need to tell you what you experience is not from constipstion its over eating or eating to fast you shoukd tke 20 mins to finish a meal that's where tye sweating and neasea

Are coming from.. now the Constipation yes I have suffered fir years with irritable bowel IBS not any longer. ? I have had bouts of constpation we all will we no longer have the stomach to digest as well what has helped me is Probiotics. Dont believe what you see on tv to be effective you need between 14 and 35 billion live units a day. I find the 14 at GNC and have resently increased to 28 on my way to 35 its needed to go gradual to avoid bouts of diarrhea. This regement has helped me tremendously . Just think logical your intestinal health is more important than every now. So supplementing it is important. Please check with your health care provider and make sure your doung at least 64 oz of Water a day. Best of luck hope this helps it has me!

      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.
