Sorry that this is graphic but I want to know if anyone else is having horrible diarrhea. I had surgery yesterday. Today, I have horrible bloody diarrhea. I was told I would have blood in my stool because of the surgery but this is insane. Anyone else have this problem?

Blood in your stool IS NOT NORMAL. Please go to your nearest ER

Just like was said above, at least call your surgeon!! Is it dark blood or red bright blood? Just to be safe call them. Better safe than sorry.

I vomited some blood the first few days , this is normal due the blood in the stomach after the surgery. Blood in your stool is not normal, don't think the surgery touches any area that should put blood in your stool. Get a second opinion to be safe. Good luck.

I had diarrhea the fourth day after my surgery because I ate something I shouldn't have. Besides that, I haven't had any issues. Matter of fact, I had three mostly normal bowel movements after my surgery. No blood in my stool.

Hi guys, I am getting my surgery this Tuesday unless I chicken out, the gastric bypass. One of my biggest concerns is the bathroom issues. How many have bowel issues after surgery, even a year out, the idea of my intestines having a blockage scare me too. I had a friend 10 years after her surgery have that happen, is that because of gastric bypass? Any advice would help or information. Thanks again

Minor chance of such things happenning, still going to have my. bypass in a month. I feel like continued fat buildup could also block my bowels, kinda strangle them also. And the uncertainty of Surgery scares me far less than continuing as I am. And I shall March into OSU, since arthritis bans me b from ever running again, with my head held high, clear-eyed and hope in my ❤. I know what I am doing, no quibble, no qualm, I know why I am doing,it, because I do want to live, not only for those who love me but for myself. This the ultimate, most wonderful 📦gift,i can give,ME, the chance to live, and live well. And I know who it will benefit the most. True the surgeon and the facility will be blessed with $thanks to my,insurances, but the benefits to ME are beyond diamonds, platinum and Bill Gate's Very Large Fortune, I will have an abundant supply of Life and I will not waste this valuable gift. If somehow I can pay,it forward so frightened newbies are no longer scared, that older seekers will find that there is Still Hope, that ambivalence turns to certainty, then my struggles are,vindicated.
And as a believer, if that 1 in 100 million bad outcome happens, and at 72 it is Always in the Back,of the Mind, I will wake up with my Lord Jesus Christ instead of in a recovery room, I will have Victory and everyone will have knowledge I did the BEST for ME!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
