Severe diarrhea 3 weeks out



Recommended Posts

For the past 4 days I've had constant diarrhea, along with feeling like I have to urinate every 2 15 minutes, but nothing coming out when I do try to pee. I feel awful and like I can't leave the house. I stopped eating any dairy and it still persists. I'm up until 5 or 6 every morning on and off the toilet. I'm MISERABLE. I couldn't get an appointment until Thursday (5 days away) and was wondering if anyone has had an experience like this and what may have helped. Thanks

I'm sorry this is happening to you. You don't deserve it. Keep your appointment. Even if things resolve before then, chat with your medical team about what to do if this happens again. In the meantime, have you considered Imodium? That's temporary but could help things. Good luck!

I am so sorry you are feeling so awful, what a drag. Some of your symptoms are on the list of things my program advised seeing a medical professional for if they arose - have you thought about going to urgent care or your PCP? UTIs, if you have one, can be tested for there and should be swiftly treated - as can dehydration. Best of luck, I’m sending good thoughts your way!

      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?
