Detox/Colon & the Lapband



Recommended Posts

I am strongly considering a detox for my colon. I have heard all good things about it. But...How does this work with the lapband.

Has anyone tried a detox, if so what was the name of it? Did it work?

I've only read that colon cleansing is not safe........... but you can do a search here and probably come up with 10+ posts on it.

Good luck !!!

White06 - I think colon cleansing is entirely beneficial. My friend swears by hydratherapy (colonics) and reports that her mood changes with the colonic. She feels lighter, sleeps better, etc.

I think that a person doesn't have to resort to herbology to clean out their innards. If you eat living foods, it will clean your insides.

Personally, I'm taking a series of colonics prior to my banding. It is my understanding that a person has quite a build up of fecal matter stored in their intestinal tract and colon. This decaying matter is believe to be a contributor of disease.

And of course, leave it to the resident naysayer to post a single link detailing the quackery of colon cleansing. (laugh) GeezerSue, gotta love ya! :confused:

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
