I went for a week after surgery with no bowel movements. I was in pain. It was NOT liquid in, liquid out for me!! I called the doc in a panic and he said to take milk of magnesia. I did, and voila, all was well the next morning, BUT then I had trouble controlling everything. I went back to work on day 11 after surgery, and pooped my pants my first day back. UGH!!! Thank God it was just that once, but I do not trust my farts anymore.....

I've heard it's called a SHART!!! Funny but very true... it happens to the best of us. At least we know we're not alone in this sharting business! ;~)

I was banded on the 27th. Yay me! Anyway, since I have started on my Clear liquids I get the ocassional horrible gas pain. However, when I pass the gas I need to be on the potty. I seem to have gas and a surprise. Has anyone else experienced this? Should I be concerned and call the doc?

Thanks!

liquid diet will certainly clean out the ole tubes for sure.

Kaopectate is good for this as it gels the stool instead of paralyzing your colon like other agents that then lead to Constipation.< /p>

Another thing to keep in mind is antibiotic induced diarrhea (pseudomembranous colitis) which some people get after the intravenous antibiotics given prior to surgery. This typically causes really watery stool and doesn't get better until treated. So, if anyone gets persistent watery stool it would be good to ask your doctor if they think you may have pseudomembranous colitis.

Hi J,

I was banded on Dec. 6th and had the same problem. :omg: It lasted about a week. When I started on mushies it seemed to clear up. My doctors office said it is not unusual to have diarhea during the liquid stage. Although it is irritating and can be embarassing I don't think it is a problem. My only advice is to be sure to keep sipping Water so you do not dehydrate.

Good luck,

S

iam a month out of surgery and since day one every time i eat or drink something it seams like i am walking on floors made of ducks, and little barking spiders, the funnest part is to blame it on my wife in public, lol she hates that, but i love to pick on her, and i find it gets to the point i cant control wether the spiders bark or i can wait to leave a room, hope it gets better but just dont feel bad, it happens, and yes even i sh+t my pants two days home from surgery, dont allways trust your farts, lol good luck and stick it out

But don't you feel squeaky clean inside?! Come on, there's a bright side! It costs $30 at the pharmacy to get that big tub of evil cherry flavoured goo to drink to get that "ready for a colonoscopy" clean... you're getting it for free!

Yeah, I tried...

I had a serious problem with NOT going after being banded. I thought I was going to wind up in the ER for help. Finally resolved it's self with the help of good 'ole Milk of Magnesia(sp). Now I take a softener everyday. Because we are eating small portions by the time out intestines are full enough to void it's a little hard. WOW that's TMI!!! lol

Hope it helps!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
