Sore bloated stomach

[jennylynn_14 0]

Sorry to hear Bissy of your tummy being bloated!! I wish I can help but have similar problem!! I have been suffering for about 6 months my stomach jotting out after I eat anything, and to such a degree that I look pregnant. Although I lost 48 kilos in 5 years with the band, I now look as though I have a huge enormous tummy. It cant be normal, as I never had this problem before with the lapband. Now it has been followed by daily Constipation that i have to take each day to go. Can anybody tell me if they experienced this and what to take or do to make it go away. I am thinking it might be something more serious or is it because of the lapband?? Have you solved your problem yet?

I hate to hear that you're going through this, but slightly relieved to hear someone understands...I'm six years post band, started to become underweight...upper scope by GI showed band slip and HHernia...waited a few months and decided to have conversation about band removal...first time seeing surgeon in 3 years...he was able to remove Fluid from band 9/12...9/17 had extremely swollen legs, 9/19 scale showed 30lb weight gain. Started Lasix and some fluid has come off but now I have a distended abdomen...constipated, meds only way to get relief...surgeon does another scope, says all is fine and I must be eating too much...that was 10/14 where I had then weighed an additional 10lbs

So within 30 days I've gained 40lbs, can't have a normal BM, or wear anything that's not elastic waisted...I don't know if I could've gained that much trying...look pregnant and feel so uncomfortable...waiting on insur to approve CT ..just hoping the mystery can be solved SOON!
