Pooped my pants.......in TJ Max TMI

Hey Brittle, it's about time!!!  I'll add you to my friend list;)

I did it!  I asked about the surgery!  LOL

My kids have a name for this "sharted" I don't think it is there original thought but they tell me all the time.....we think you "sharted" instead of farted. You'd better check that one. LOL mean children, oh well I get them back trust me!!!!

Sorry this happened to you!

I've had a few "never trust a fart" moments, and once, after a day of shameless eating, had one in my sleep.  Never the full monty, mind you, but enough to cause distress.     I'm relieved that now this is a true rarity.   I can't remember the last time it happened, as a matter of fact.   Our bodies do seem to adjust.   I've had many "I gotta go NOW" moments too, but it's been because I ignored my body's signal that I had to use the bathroom.   If I become real farty, especially later in the afternoon, that's usually a sign that I need to take a good poop.   I've learned not to ignore that fartiness! 

That's what happened, I should have left the store when I felt the first pain. The bad part is I had to leave my shopping cart with all the cool summer clothes. I will have to start all over. He He.

I'm really sorry you and all others *****sponded had to have such a situation.

I've not had my surgery yet and from all that I've read about the poop and related issues, I'm really worried about the bowel aspect(s) of the DS.  No one knows what *their story* will be until they actually have the surgery.    

Fuddy,

This type of thing can happen with any surgery that messes with your intestines.  I have a few links to RNY'ers posts about this very same thing if you are interested.  It really isn't a DS specific issue.

I have never had a DS accident but I did have a few pre-op from my IBS which seems to be totally resolved since surgery.

Oh honey.. you poor thing...

Wanna laugh at me.... I went dancing last weekend.. and got drunk and farted all over the dance floor and the other people thought it was a girl that went with us... I admitted to them though. It would clear a circle....

Hugs to you....

So cute, I love it. Hugs back.....

Ronda,
Yep, I know how it feels.  I had a more than a few accidents before my DS and some after.  I think it's been more when I'm on Flagyl as it really loosens up the bowels getting rid of all the bad juju.  It has gotten better the farther out I get.  I do know where a lot of bathrooms are in the stores that I frequent.  But some don't have public restrooms, then I'm screwed.   Having a spastic colon doesn't help either, but I've learned to breathe through the spasm.  Don't move, don't try to walk to the restroom, just wait it out then hurry.  Sometimes there's just no help - sugar alcohols or lactose can really set me off.  Yep, it's a humbling learning experience.
