I'm 20 years old and was the victim (har har) of a laproscopic appendectomy 4 weeks and 2 days ago. I was constipated for 2 days after my surgery. After my first bowel movement, I had diarrhea for 6 days (the remainder of the time I was on antibiotics...Two of them). I had to use anti-nausea suppositories to keep my antibiotics and any food down. I was assuming that the combination of the suppositories and the antibiotics had given me diarrhea. Well, after my meds were gone, my diarrhea went into remission for 3 days or so. Since then, i've had it every few days. And now i've had it for three days in a row, and it's waking me up in the middle of the night. I've never had problems with anything gastrointestinal before my appendectomy, so I called my surgeon's office, and the woman I spoke with told me that it was probably unrelated to my surgery...Which seemed a little ridiculous, considering that it was a brand new, post-operative issue. I'm afraid of losing anymore weight, but I don't want to eat because i'm tired of having to run to the bathroom. Has anyone else had any diarrhea problems after an appendectomy? I can't imagine what else the cause could be. I was reading that it puts you at risk for all sorts of bowel problems. Scary stuff!
