Not good! Should at least have had runny BM's. Need to talk to your doctor. Small bowel obstruction would not be good!!

Its been a year for me and I love my band. Lost 60 lbs and have kept it and don't feel so obsessed with losing. Can't do the fast food run ect. so I feel much more in control!! Still have more to go but loving it everyday!!

I had it done on the 26th and still a little swollen. I gained about 5 lbs from the fluids pumped into me but lost that after about 3 days. I still can't have anything but clear liquids until thur. so slow down, relax, quit counting and let your stomach heal. Good Luck. Staci
