4 days post op and have a poop question



Recommended Posts

I think it would be ok- just make sure you are not getting dehydrated.




I'm told this is normal for like a month. Stay hydrated, it's working. Be thankful their moving. Mine just started last night Surgery was August 1st.

Jealous! I'm a week out and still waiting. LOL

Otherwise, I'm drinking/doing Protein without issue. Oh well, puree starts soon, so maybe that will get things moving along.

I was in your same boat! No BM after surgery for 9 days. I was so scared my bowels shut down or something. Doctor said as long as you are passing gas, all is good. I was taking colace 2x a day and Miralax once daily and it finally happened!

      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?
