I'm losing it

I know I just posted a question and it's not there. Perhaps the drugs are still affecting my brain. How long does the gas and diarrhea last? I'm afraid to get too far from the bathroom.

Lynn...You sound very normal. In fact, take it as a good sign that all your plumbing is hooked up and running OK (no pun intended!) Plus, it takes a little while for the gas to get out of your system from the surgery. It should get better in a few days. In terms of bowel movements, it seems like once you start eating some protein, it gets more normal. Everything inside is just re-adjusting to the new you! Francie P Lap RNY 4/27/04
