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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
