Wolfgirl17 15 Posted June 16, 2023 I had sleeve surgery 4 days ago, May 12th. First, I developed a liver bleed and had to have blood. I wasn't able to move around and got Fluid in my lungs, now I have uncontrolled bowel movements and I am pooping myself. It's Friday May 16th and I'm still in the hospital. I'm hoping to go home today. Please tell me the uncontrolled diarrhea will pass. I'm so discouraged. I'm wondering if I didn't make a huge mistake. 3 SleeverSk, Arabesque and Possum220 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fred in Pa 234 Posted June 16, 2023 I’m so sorry you’re going through all this… I had straight diarrhea for a couple weeks until my body recovered from the shock of surgery. Remember, your body has gone through a lot, and is adjusting to the changes of your new digestive track. And along with the other issues you’re having it is quite stressful. Give it some time and just concentrate on getting better. 1 Arabesque reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
summerseeker 2,229 Posted June 16, 2023 Yes it will pass. I had diarrhoea as soon as I came around from surgery. I had 6 days in hospital. Its big surgery and we somehow don't realise this when we think we only stay in hospital 1 day. Don't despair. It is rough for many off us in the beginning. The first weeks are such a learning curve and add some pain and discomfort into the mix, many of us had major regrets. Hang in there 2 Arabesque and SuziDavis reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pintsizedmallrat 473 Posted June 16, 2023 It will pass. I went through some really serious complications that nearly killed me about two months after my procedure and now 21 months out, I would still do it again in a heartbeat. I am so sorry you're having to deal with this, though. Stay strong and stay positive. I know it's hard. 1 Arabesque reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
