A member asked:
Gallbladder removed 13 weeks ago. still having some diarrhea and issues. should i go see surgeon, or should i go see my gp, or just wait it out?

Some diarrhea is nml: after GB surgery, but should improve with time. 13 weeks later you should be noticing improvement. If not, see your surgeon if possible. Otherwise GP is ok too. A small percentage of patients after GB surgery will need medication to control more persistent diarrhea. In the meantime, avoid fatty or greasy foods and increase your fiber intake. Good luck!
