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!

      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. 🤞
