Tonks 0 Posted November 13, 2009 I have a question.... I have been banded for almost 3 years now. My actual weight is 121 Pounds, I can eat almost everything and not have a problem, but I've been having an almost constant diarrhea, it's like one week I'm Ok, and then the other I'm not. I went to my doctor and have some tests done and everything appears to be OK. Could this be band related? Have any of you had this problem? Should I get worried?

Mimilou2004 13 Posted November 14, 2009 I can't imagine that the band is your problem. It isn't altering your absorption of food and nutrients like a sleeve or bypass. I hope you get to the bottom of whatever is the problem, and I hope it is not the band. Mimi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
texancowgirlali 0 Posted November 23, 2009 I'm having the exact same thing going on...if not diarrhea then very soft stools every day...so far I've had a colonoscopy, endoscopy, gallbladder ultrasound and everything came back normal. I do think it is the band. I'm going to see my lapband Dr. this Tuesday to schedule to have it out. I can't live like this anymore. I carry Immodium in my purse because I never know when the diarrhea will strike. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
