QUESTION PLEASE! IBS!

hi EVERYONE HOPE SOME ONE CAN HELP WITH SOME INFO,HAS ANYONE WHO HAS HAD THE GASTRIC BYPASS HAD OR HAS IBS? AND IF SO WHEN YOU HAD THE SURGERY DOES IT HELP? thanks! MY DR SAID IT DOES BUT JUST WANT SOME ONE I CAN TALK TO THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM.

I cant really answer this for you... however I just wanted to say you have the best doc around! I dont think another doc in this world that cares so much about his patients exists. Dr. Sonnanstine is the greatest! He told me what changes I would experience and he's been right on so far. He's awesome!

Hi Delilah, which doc told you that, Dr. Sonnanstine or your family doc?..If Dr. Sonnanstine said it, then I believe it! Brenda

Yes, DR Sonnanstine said it would, I sure hope so i have had a problem with this ever since i had my gall bladder removed years ago, along with other health problems i have , thanks, Delilah

Delilah, I know Dr. Sonnanstine pretty well..I spent a great deal of time with him over the last two years learning everything I could about weight loss surgery..He allowed me to observe him while doing several procedures and I talk to many of his patients. He is an extremely well trained surgeon with great bedside manner..I also trust his word..he will not tell you this if he does not feel it is so. I read your profile..I was 47 when I had my surgery, I weighed over 300 lbs. I had diabetes ( on insulin shots) I was probably at the lowest point of my life emotionally as I had been very ill with kidney problems...this surgery saved my life, the only thing I would do differently is have Dr. Sonnanstine perform the procedure, he wasn't around when I had mine. I have done great and never sorry I did it..It's just knowing what I know now I would certainly chose him.. I had my gallbladder removed on Aug. 2nd..It never occured to me to even think about what surgeon to go to..as a matter of fact I am not sure I even ask him, I just happen to be over at his office Talking to Sarah after a meeting then complained about my gallbladder..next thing I know I was setting up for surgery..LOL.. he is awesome...he will take very good care of you! Brenda

I had my gallbladder out a few years ago. I had similar issues... I guess i never realized it was IBS, Since my RNY I havent had any bathroom problems except for some constipation and something unrelated to the RNY surgery

Hi Delilah, Just wanted to send you some hugs and say I had my gallbladder out too and have had soem simular problems as well. If surgery can clear up this problem, then praise God for that! (another plus in my book) Try not to fret and from what everyone here is saying, you're in good hands! Take care-- Dee

Thank you to each and everyone *****sponded to my question, your care and your information means a lot to me and to help me decide in what i want to do next, i will keep you posted in whats in store next ? and thanks to all, Delilah !
