Contact your doc.

Probiotics can help with diarrhea caused by antibiotics.

Yes you must get on a good probiotic like HMF powder just add to Water very easy to use.

it's not the surgery. everyone gets sick. bariatric patients included.

I've had that exact problem before, but not after surgery. for a few years in my 30s I was very susceptible to step throat. the antibiotics would give me diarrhea and then I'd get the infection again. It took some concerted intervention on my doctors part to find an antibiotic and dosage that worked. and yes, the Probiotics can help a lot. It's not caused by the surgery, but surgery and recovering from surgery can lower your immunity and make you more susceptible to infections. Stay away from sick people!
