yellowish stool is often indicative of fat malabsorption - although maybe not always, so it's probably good to ask

bright red blood is usually hemorrhoids or an anal fissure, neither of which are particularly major, so you may be OK there as well - but again, it's good to get it checked (and they'll probably have you treat it regardless, so it's good you're going). Really dark blood can be more worrisome because that means it's coming from much further up the G/I tract.

I hope everything is okay i had long limb rny but my doc told me not to be worried if i had some bloood in my stool when i went home from hospital. I have not had any. Let us know how you are doing. Yellow stool can be a liver issue a food intolerance a gallbladder thing etc catwoman is correct about bright red blood

good information for future reference. Thanks. I also hope that you are feeling better.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
