This is just a question, but can't the surgeon lengthen your common channel. With the Sadi DS, mine is about 300cm, and some are 400cm. I would think it's not your reduced stomach size but the 50cm cc length that is causing the issue.
Good luck with the surgery.
thank you

I agree with this. I am having problems also getting back on track. Your reply is the best so far and more do able for the long term.
Hi all,
I will be having a BPD/DS REVERSAL due to severe malabsorption in a few weeks. My DS is too severe, I have a 50 cm common limb and a 300 biliopancreatic limb. Infusions, injections, 45+ pills- supplements/day, osteoporosis and scoliosis caused post DS. I have had to add more and more supplements-the malabsorption is too severe.

I was told by my doctor that when this happened. It is because your pouch is **** off from you eating stuff your not supposed to be eating. Sweets & carbohydrates. Once's you get to that stage even water will triggers a diarrhea. So you just have to chill and not have anything until you get back on track. Good luck to you.
Thanks so much for sharing this information! Makes me feel better about my choice!
Just saw this. If you are following the rules for loose stools and no help and experiencing bowel incontinence, see a gastroenterologist to be diagnosed and look at the rectal sphincter for any flaws.
Yes, we must remain mindful of all eating, but sometimes these things are not diet related but may be a structural problem. We are so used to blaming ourselves.
Kaopectate works very well. It is a clay that works better than Imodium for us.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
Yes it's embarrassing I'll give you that, also it must be possible this isn't from your gastric bypass but some other kind of problem. Like the majority of people are lactose intolerant maybe try cutting milk, also Imodium lasts like six to eight hours which constipates you also I use gas x also.
