I am a little embarrassed to write about this but I am desperate to know if this something I should be concern about . I just had surgery on Tuesday 8/18 and I have been doing ok. I was having really bad gas pain but I was told that was normal . Well today I woke up and I haven't been able to stop going to the bathroom (#2)... Even Water is running right thru me . Is this normal ? Should I call my doctor first thing tomorrow? This just started today and I am to the point where I am sitting next to the bathroom so I don't have an accident . So embarrassing to be writing about this but as stated earlier, I am desperate and concerned .

I don't know if it's normal or not but definitely call your doctor. You don't want to get dehydrated and diarrhea can make you dehydrated very quickly.

Don't worry but do call your doctor. Please make sure you get plenty of fluids you don't want to end up in the hospital.

I hope you feel better soon!

P.S. Don't be embarrassed we all have things like this that we need help with.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
