Hello, I had a lap band after gastric bypass. Gastric bypass was 12 years ago. Any advice would be great. Thank you

Congratulations! My best advice would be to follow your doctors orders!!! So mNy people seem to think they should "test" their band those first few weeks. It's best to take things slowly allowing your band to heal and settle in your stomach, then begin the journey of fills and losing the weight. This procedure is not meant to lose weight rapidly, but to lose slowly and steadily. Wishing you great success on your journey!

Hey! I was just banded on April 4th. It's been an interesting week! I'll take all the advice I can get as well!

Thank you, I am doing pretty well with the diet. Just started the mush diet today. Guess I will be here for a while. The only issues i am having is very loose stools and gas. Is this normal?
