Hello  I  recently had hernia surgery about three months ago.   Before the surgery I was have 2 to 3 Bowel Movements a Day.    After the Surgery I am having  1 bowel movement a day and it is always in the morning.    Is it uncommon for a Duodenal Switch patient to only have 1 bowel movement a day?

For me that is the norm - one always in the morning, and occasionally a second.  How long ago was your DS?

I'm nearly 10 years out, and this is my normal routine, so yeah....perfectly normal.
