One week post op -diarrhea

[abailor 4]

Hi,

Sorry TMI. I’m one week post op revision from band to RNY. I also had my gallbladder removed and Hiatial hernia repair. I had a very rough few days, but have felt much better. Today I can’t stop the diarrhea. I’m following the post op direly. Anyone else have this type of experience? Can I take Imodium AD?

Hi,

I am 4 weeks post op and this week, since monday eve, ive had bubble guts and diarhea. When i spoke to my surgeon, he said there is a nasty stomach bug going around right now and to go ahead and take Imodium.
That said, im 4 weeks postop, so i dont know if Imodium is ok no matter how soon postop u are??
Also, I had diarhea within that first week post op too..actually it was like pure water... bleh... but it was normal, i was told, for that first week.

I say all this to say, call ur doc, just to make sure they're ok with u:
#1) having diarhea and
#2) taking Imodium being so soon out of surgery.

Good luck!
