I am three weeks post op and have felt awesome this whole time except for last night and today. I have had diarrhea and nausea like no other. I'm running to the bathroom like every 15-20 minutes and Water is making me nauseous. Also some abdominal cramping. Has anyone had anything similar? What ended up happening?

With any concerning pain, it is always best to call your bariatric team. They know you better than any one.

If it is after hours, please call the "physician on call". She/he will be able to guide you better than any of us.

PLEASE call, feel better and come back and post to let us know that you are "on the mend".

Prayers for your feeling better going up.

I called and he said if I'm not better by tomorrow to go ahead and go to the hospital. Whatever this is it's awful, I've only had maybe 35 oz of Fluid today and am supposed to have 96, but feel sick everytime I drink Water.

I had horrible diarrhea at about 6 weeks post op...my Dr put me on a couple stomach medicines that worked well but then I got horrible constipation! She then suggested a Probiotic and that has done wonders for me [emoji3] ...Good luck!

I'm just so worried that I am going to get too dehydrated. I am in the bathroom every 5-10 minutes with BAD issues lol. I feel so awful.

Water in, Water out. Once you start eating more solid food, it will stop. Just drink all you can so you are replenishing.

I had similar issues....turns out the sugar alcohol in the Calcium supplements were causing it. I believe it was called maltitol. Any sweetener that ends in 'tol' can disagree with some of us.

      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?
