Hello, US friends! I'm in Australia and I've was banded 2 weeks ago, having had IBS for years and a fatty liver. I was recommended for banding, although my IBS was 32, because of the health problems I suffer from the fatty liver. My bowels have gone ballistic, despite Immodium and all liquid diet. The only positive outcome is that now I'm an IBS of 29. The surgeon is at a loss and I hope that once I get onto solids I'll improve. Any-one else had this problem?
