MollyF22 62 Posted August 13, 2015 Hello everyone! I am getting sleeved probably sometime in November or December of this year. I am super excited! I was wondering if there was anyone out there who suffers from IBS and has had the surgery. Has it helped any? Thanks for taking the time to read this!

jhclikesshopping@gmail.com 285 Posted August 13, 2015 hi Molly - congrats on your surgery. Yes - I have IBS. Oh the fun of it.... I personally think whenever people cannot find a source for something being wrong in your stomach or "gut", they call it IBS. I often wonder if mine was too much acid, too little acid, food allergies or something else. I will say this, before surgery I never had a normal trip to the bathroom. food would set me off...drinks would set me off.... time of the month...cheese was bad Tuesday...bread was bad on Thursday. I hope you get my point - never the same one day from the next on what would cause my issues. And yes, I had major stomach cramps and pain. Now after surgery - I am back to my normal life. Sure right after surgery I had issues with gas but I think that was part of the surgery part. Also, the liquid and soft phases were challenging. Now I am 5 months out, I am doing GREAT. No need for medication anymore and the "gut" pain I had from IBS is completely gone. If anything I am happy for the surgery and now my IBS is quiet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MollyF22 62 Posted August 14, 2015 I am so happy to hear that your ibs is gone. It seriously is the worst. I am hoping I have the same exact luck as you. The pains I get are like contractions and I didn't even have them that bad when I was in actual labor with my daughter 3 years ago lol. I really appreciate you taking the time to reply!
