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

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.

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.

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.

Thank you so much, the sleeve is what I'm planning to do. My education class is the 28th and then surgery sometime in april. Just wanting to hear from actual people that have traveled this road with ibs. Thank you so much for your input.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
