|  Has anyone else experienced this?
Here is what is going on. For 5 days, I have watery diarrhea with extremely increased lower bowel sounds. I have never had that ever. I never have really had any gas problems either. I finally went to the PCM and he gave me antibiotics and Immodium. Told me I possible could have an bacterial infection somewhere. Not really sure. Anyway, I took them both last night before I went to bed. Now no diarrhea, but the sounds are just as bad and lots of gas. Let me say that I had to go to bed early last night because of extreme nausea. I haven't eaten anything out of the norm, especially that jalapenos that are on recall. 
I don't feel up to my normal self. I put a call into my surgeon's office yesterday and they didn't return my call. 
Should I wait this out a few more days before I really start to worry?

I have also been lucky with not getting gas. I wouldnt let it go very long, but maybe you just have a case of the flu. I know whenever we feel bad we automatically worry about the surgery and if something is wrong. If the diarreha has stopped thats a good sign......hope you feel better.......just take it easy and enjoy the rest.

DH had a stomach thingy a week ago. We attributed it to a cantaloupe that only he ate. We bought it at a local farmer's stand nearby...I guess someone didn't wash their hands before picking fruit. Anyway, the fever broke in 24 hours and he was better in a couple days.
I think your tummy is just recovering. Uber fluids. Check in with your surgeon. One thought...the surgery was not on the large bowel/colon, which is troubling you. That is a good thing. The surgeon's office, however, may have some insight on to the care of WLS'ers and such cooties in the bowels.

I wouldn't let it go. Call your surgeon's office until you can get someone to call you back. I hope you feel better and keep us posted.

Hope you feel better soon- sounds like you got a bit of a bug. Hopefully the meds will kick in and your tummy will be feeling better.
