I had some IBS symptoms as well, and in the 4 months since surgery have not experienced them either. I think it is due to the total change in eating habits. Eating a lot healthier! Glad to hear things are better!

I would of sold a kidney to be free of my IBS symptoms.. I feel like I got a great deal 2 for 1. Buy a band to help me lose weight as an extra cure myself of horrible symptoms... Happy days

That is great news! Makes sense the whole digestive track would be so much happier with the healthy changes and being able to pay attention to the body's signals, not forcing it to deal with more than it should do, etc. One thing about this long wait to a surgery date is that I'm actually really looking forward to the pre-op diet for all those cleansing properties.

I never brought it up but yes my IBS is gone as well. I had to constantly be by a bathroom and I was afraid to eat anything for fear of instant diarrhea. I had the problem for years but since the surgery I have not had any problems. I thought it was just me. I'm glad to see other people have had their quality of life improved like mine has. I am 8 months post op.

Zing: I suffered from IBS for too long. After LapBand surgery it disappeared! Amen to that feeling.

It was horrible for me because sometimes I wouldn't go out to dinner because of my symptoms.

I was totally trapped by my symptoms too. I couldn't walk my daughter to school, do the grocery shopping (unless there was a bathroom) it was a living nightmare. As much as losing weight is improving my life... This is by far the greater reward.....

Mine came back yesterday as well. We were leaving a restaurant when I told my boyfriend to wait for me. I was in the bathroom 25 minutes. I was doing so good too. This is the first episode I've had in 8 months. I'm thinking that my digestive tract is readjusting because I've been doing great until yesterday. Wishing you well.

I've put mine down to possibly two things.. bread was always a consistent trigger for me..not had bread but granola, so maybe its wheat. I've been eating that..or as my hormones are back working wondered if my adhesions from my numerous pregnancy surgeries have been aggravated.. Just dont know. Wish I did. Whatever it was id dodge it like the plague.

Are you considering a gluten free diet? Celiac Disease is caused when certain people eat wheat. My boyfriend is on a gluten free diet. I had a veggie stuffed crepe with cheese and I'm thinking the crepe may have triggered my attack. I hadn't had any type of crepe in well over a year. So, I'm going to try and avoid wheat products myself.

I have very few wheat products in my diet so wheat free shouldnt be a problem.. Strange thing Pasta doesnt have a dodgy effect on me.. I wa tested for coeliac disease negative result but hadn't eaten any wheat products in ages... Thanks for the message.. Going to give it some thought. Hope your feeling better.. One good thing is my episode only lasted 24h. Its lasted weeks in the past

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
