papoose 48 Posted March 7, 2012 Are you constipated? I feel that way when I am. I suffer very bad from Constipation. I have tried everything and nothing works. I drink a tea called Smooth Move by Traditional Medicines and it helps me a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marb 0 Posted March 20, 2012 Hi thanks everyone. Yes I tried the milk of magnesia it helps and i also realized that eatting a lot of carotts can cause bloating. I have another question. I got my band several years ago but sometimes when i lift something heavy or work out i get pain in my scar area. has anyone else experienced this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
