Question:
When I have to go"I HAVE TO GO NOW"!!!That very moment!
Does anyone have trouble with having bowel movements? As soon as the urge strikes I have to run to the bathroom or I'm in trouble! Has this happened to anyone else? Im almost 1 year post-op. :) — balefran (posted on February 7, 2006)

I feel your pain, darling. For me, it was a symptom of my B12 deficiency.
Since I started taking injections, the problem has been solved. But I know
the feeling!!!!!!

Dear Friend,
See a specialist. It could be several problems. I have had the same
problem but, I think it is a combination of problems......the surgery,
childbirth trauma and a history of obesity. I have in general been able to
deal with the situation, however, I on occasion have an embarrassing
situation.
Love,
CW

I have the same problem (surgery 11/7/05). My coworker who had the surgery
3 years ago also has this happen. I don't think there's anything wrong,
just less intestines for food to travel through but i'm no doctor so if
you're concerned, ask you doctor to be on the safe side. Just wanted you
to know you're not alone.

In the beginning...yes I had the urge and when it came there was no holding
back. To a potty now!! It does start to get better further out...Although
when I have to go I have to go! I often wondered if the changes in our
anatomy has something to do with this. More volume pushing through from
the malabsorption? I think my body is adjusting to the change now and that
is why I don't have as many urges.

Did you have your gallbladder out at the same time? I had mine out years
before my RNY and ended up with irritable bowel really bad. Over the years
it has eased up and actually the RNY surgery has helped it even more.
Could also be lactose intolerance if you are having milk products. Good
luck!

That was how lactose intolerance affected me pre-op. My doc demands no
milk for us (milk = sugar), but that was NO problem as 1 glass caused
sudden acute cramping and the mad dash. Of course, at full size, it wasn't
always easy to find a bathroom that fit me! But I've been all these nearly
12 years with no milk. I take protein for my protein, calcium for my
calcium. You might try 24 or 48 hours without and see how you do.

Our intestinal tract is horter, so sometimes that happens.
