Complex Journey

English is not mi first language so excuse my spelling. In 2015 I went for a gastric sleeve which didn't work, so 3 weeks later I got an MGB. 9 Foot long. I got it done by the best WLS surgeon in Mexico. I'm Mexican and an MD so I know a little about it. Well, I lost the weight, some people consider me as skinny. The problem for me is diarrhea. It hasn´t stoped since I had the MGB. I have tried non dairy, gluten free, veggetarian, Paleo, Keto, sweet potatoe, theas, apple cider vinegar, I even have followed every advice from Dr. Rutldge, the inventor of MGB. Probiotics, greek yougurth, non fat, and I could go on and on and on. I have studied and tried every diet but the diarrhea does not go away. I'm divorced twice, I'm 46 years old and a succefull Psychiatrist in Mexico. I would like to have a significant other in my life, but the constant diarrhea and gas keeps me away from getting involved in a relationship. Do you have any suggestions? Imodium, Lomotil, Hidrasec, Carbotural, etc all have been tried. I'm not looking for a live coach, I'm looking for a dietary plan that has worked for you. Thank you.

I'm sorry I don't have answers for you but I didn't want to read and run. I hope someone pops by who might have more of an insight.

Can I ask why the sleeve didn't work? (Three weeks seems very quick to decide that unless there were complications. I only ask cos I'm nosy 😂)

I had a revision surgery 3 weeks after my sleeve because somehow my sleeve got twisted AND even fluids would no go down

I think because we are all different it would be hard for us to advise however it sounds like you’ve pretty much tried everything, sorry I have no answers but wish you luck x
