4 years post op anniversary

You are not unique in having certain issues and does not chose to have those things.  They are the result of the surgery combined with food and drink choices. 

Many post-ops drink alcohol, eat too many carbs, eat too much fat.  Many live with gas, occasional sharting, and chronic loose stools and/or constipation.  Our systems are altered by the surgery and some bodies adjust better than others. 

You shared your experience and your truth.  The problems might be better controlled by different eating and drinking, but there is no guarantee.  The altered anatomy will still be there.  I have had problems even when following low carb, low sugar, and low fat.  High protein results in constipation for me.  I take fiber and probiotics to keep as close as possible to normal. 

Losing 90 pounds and not having to take diabetes medicine is a huge victory that you probably would never have accomplished without surgery.  I understand that you are sharing the good and bad results.  You did not chose to have problems, but accept those problems and see the greater good in weight loss and diabetes control.
