Hello liberty, I had your gastric bypass in 2002 and I had a total colectomy and the majority of my rectum removed. I had a bag for several months and recently been reversed it a month ago. I'm losing a lot of weight which I don't mind but I also want to be healthy. However, the diarrhea is very frequent about 15 to 20 times a day and at times I find myself depressed over it because it seems the nighttime is the worst so I'm not getting a lot of sleep. Imodium helps a little bit and I do not like lamotil as it makes me dizzy & tired but I'm going to have to take it. I'm still trying to find a balance as to what foods are ok to eat and what to avoid. I would love to talk with you and others who may offer some more wisdom.
