Question regarding bowel Issues post op

Hi ladies :)

I hope this isn't getting to personal but I'm wondering if anyone has dealt the diarrhea and/or incontinence at all aside from newly post op or when you dump. I'm thinking down the road 6-12 months after your body has adjusted.  Is this a common occurrence? Something we should expect?  And also if you have some mild IBS pre surgery is the surgery known to make it worse??

Thanks!! As always your input is very valuable to myself and others considering this surgery!

Right after surgery, your more worried about constipation.  When you dump, you do rush to the bathroom, but when it's happened to me, it's been one run, not repeatedly.  If you watch what you eat, you may never dump.  But that's something you and your new tummy need to learn.

I'm not able to help with the IBS, just make sure that your surgeon is aware of it though.
