I have had my lap band for 12 years and at first lost 30 kilos. Gained 20 kilos back. Had Fluid put in and taken out. Now after several years, the last 6 years have bowel leakage.

Has anyone else had this problem. I have to be careful what I eat.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thank You

Mary Meyer

what does your doctor say? bowel leakage is a whole new ball game. see your doctor you need a upper and lower gi series to determine what is going on with your band and other problem. good luck to you

Iam having a procedure on Thursday to see whats going on. Not sure. Thanks for replying. I will keep in touch and let you know. I have had to change my diet. I don't seem to be able to eat dairy, meat, some tuna, it gets stuck in my throat a sophicus. can't spell it. Also vomiting. I had Fluid taken out and that part is better, just the bowel leakage. Quite embarassing at times. I am off all dairy, red meat, and carb rich foods, no tea or coffee. Only warm Water or water in general. anyone have any problems like this.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
