Vikingsfan8178 62 Posted January 28, 2015 I was at a support group meeting tonight and one of the topics was the horrendous smell of gas and poop after WLS. This particular person had duodenal switch. Is this specific to the DS surgery folks or is this across all weight loss surgeries? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MichiganChic 3,262 Posted January 28, 2015 This is a known and pretty common problem with DS. That procedure prevents fat absorption, so it causes steatorhea, or fatty stools. It's true - fatty stools have a pretty foul and lingering odor. I've even heard that some people smell like that in general through the skin, though I can't say that I know that's actually true. I had the sleeve, and have no such problems, thank goodness! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

no onions 258 Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) We are redoing our bathroom and I considered getting one of these... Just for general purposes - I haven't had surgery yet so cannot speak to this possible issue. If I have surgery and this becomes an issue then I might break down and buy this seat.
