Mistie 201 Posted March 17, 2016 I have Crohns. I had the sleeve 10/25/15. I have been amazed at how much better mine has been! Much less nausea, less pain, etc. never really anticipated that. I think the sleeve is a good option with any type of IBS, as it leaves your intestines alone, lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kaitlynm 335 Posted March 18, 2016 I have IBS-C. Unfortunately I think mine is worse. I had to go back on a medication that I had been off of for a couple of years. Sorry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry.Did you have surgery? which one how long ago, did you bloat with pain before, is it worse now? Thank you for your input. I'm making a big decision here.

kaitlynm 335 Posted March 18, 2016 I had the sleeve 5 months ago. Mine went perfectly with no bloating and very little pain whatsoever. I take Amitiza once a day so that I don't have any problems like bloating or Constipation. With all WLS constipation is generally a problem just because you are eating so little. Sometimes I have read that with the bypass it can be the opposite but I have no experience with that. With the Amitiza I do perfectly fine. But without it I had the bloating, gas pains, and constipation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just wanting to hear from actual people that have traveled this road with ibs. Thank you so much for your input.
