There are many reasons you may have diarrhea, and it may not be related to your previous surgery.

Have you discussed it with your primary care provider?

Yes, I met with my Doctor after1 week of diarrhea and he prescribed Lomotil which took 5 days before my insurance company approved. After 10 days of the meds, I am just now seeing some results. However this, with negative fecal tests, and the unexplained weight loss, and continuing weight loss from the diarrhea, he yesterday referred me to a gastroenterologist for follow-up.
