Help!!!!

[banded at last 3]

Hello Everyone - I am new to this site. I was banded October 3rd. I was doing wonderful till last Friday. Everything I ate was going right threw me. I have not stopped having diahrrea. I called my Dr.s office and they told me that I had to see my PCP. I got an apt that day and she did blood work and asked for a sample of my stool. I did that. So far the blood work came back great except I have to take Iron. The blood came back fine except one is still pending. So far there is no bacteria. What is going on, has anyone every experienced this? I am so worried now that I keep looking stuff up on the web and it is making me crazy. I love my lap band and I have lost 40 pounds since my surgery... Thanks everyone.. Happy Saturday!!! Krisy

Thank you, I will try that. I was not really eating all that much before this started. I hope that is all it is...

Are you getting enough Fiber?

I was taking Metamucil for high cholesterol but stopped after my surgery because it is too hard for me to drink with a tight band. (have to drink it fast)

Noticed a big difference. I started taking it again every evening before bed. 3 smaller doses spread apart,
