Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted March 11, 2009 I am not sure what you're asking. My dr. stresses the importance of drinking 64 oz of Water per day. I notice if I don't, my Constipation problem gets worse. I have had that problem ever since band surgery, as many other people have complained they have also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted March 16, 2009 I am having a revision because I am tired of the band. I am tired of fills and unfills. I can never seem to have the right fill. Plus I hate my port. It sticks out of me like an egg. I have scar tissue from my port to my band that makes it hard to bend at the waist. I am happy to be getting it out. I am happy I got the band and lost weight, but I wish I would have known about the sleeve back then. I keep hearing about complications from people who have had their band for several years. I just want it out. With the sleeve I will have surgery and be done with worrying about restriction. I have been using Miralax for the Constipation. I use it every other day instead of every day because it's really expensive. I also take a stool softner every eay. I try to eat things high in Fiber, fruits and veggies , yet this is still a problem for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
