    I am 3mos+ out ( banded 4/9/10 ) and I just started having this problem last week. But like you it is EVERY day and I am hardly eating anything because of it. I talked to my surgeons office today and they say it is not band related.... I am not so sure. I have an appointment tommorrow with my primary physician.... we will see. But it is making me wonder if I did the right thing or not

    Good Luck I hope it ends soon for you

    I have been doing great no issues since my surgery April 9th. I have had two fills and lost 32 lbs. BUT last week ( Wed ) I started having dirrhea issues. It's like I eat and 30 min later I am running to the bathroom. I have not changed the way I am eating. So I don't understand what is going on. Maybe it isn't band related but I feel fine everywhere else. I am having to take immodium to deal with it. Example of my normal day :

    Breakfast Chowbani Greek yogurt

    lunch salad with grilled chicken

    dinner grilled chicken or turkey wrap with veggies and cheese

    snack more yogurt or a Protein Shake or cheese

    I really don't think it is what i am eating but like i said this has been going on since last Wed and i am starting to get worried there is a problem. Anyone else deal with this ?

    I can totally relate! I was banded on 4/9 and I am still freaking a bit. I feel something a little bit different in that area and start to panic. However I am now freaking for a different reason. The swelling from surgery must be going down because now I am starting to feel the hunger pangs. I even woke up Friday night in the middle of the night hungry. That scares me.

    It is nice to be able to come to this board and see that you are not alone. Hang in there.... you can do this because you deserve to be healty4life :):thumbup:

    Timbergurl thanks for your response. It got me thinking. She IS heavy as well ( however NOT as big as I am ) To be honest we have only gone out together to lunch 2x BUT now that I think about the "big picture " she is always talking about food and is always saying she is hungry. I guess I should of thought of that before but the first thing i thought of was the fact that she didn't want me to have the surgery. I also know that I will come across sabatogers and food pushers and was just asking some "experienced" banders their advice or how they handled the situation.

    thanks

    I am having an issue with my boss. She is already sabatoging me and I haven't even gone back to work yet:thumbdown: I have talked to her twice since surgery... the first time she told me i needed to eat and that she had just eaten Mexican ( which she knows is my favorite ) then today when i told her i was going to go ahead and take off the rest of the week her response was " I was just going to see if you would be in tomorrow because I am getting Boston Market " We are friends.... but I know she wasn't all that crazy about me having the surgery

    I know I am going to have to have a talk with her.... anyone else go thru this or have any advice?

    thanks!

    It so nice to know that you are not alone in this:thumbup:

    My most embarrassing moments all came last summer:

    1. I was in a destination wedding for my best friend ( who had LAP-BAND®® several years ago ) Months before i had bought a beautiful dress in the largest size they made of course. It looked like the dress from Titanic only the underlying was a cream satin and the lace over was black. Well day of the wedding i had on the super support control top hose, Spanx and still looked horrible in such a beautiful dress!!! You could see every roll and the silky satin just emphasized the issue!!!

    2. On the same trip one of our stops was the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas. Me and my finance decided to do this excursion. Well after being dropped off at the door of the resort it was like a freakin' 5 mile hike just to get to the Water park area!! By the time we got there i was totally out of breath... i also have really bad hip pain ( prob due to my weight ) and was miserable. My fiance went off and found us a locker. The worst part of the day was him having to be my guide. We would take off to go somewhere and end up at a dead end and have to back track. He started finding the way first and then would come back and get me :thumbup: He was a trooper I felt like CRAP!!

    3. In July of the same summer I had to take my oldest to Texas A&M to register and get everything set up for his first yr there. Ok did i mention this was JULY IN TEXAS as if that wasn't enough we of course had to walk all over campus. He was great about it though and walked at my pace. The one that really got me though was when we met with the School of Engineering. We met at a location by Kyle field that we had been meeting at for several different things so that hadn't been too bad BUT after that meeting they broke the students up into which area of engineering they were specializing in and then took them to a different location. OUR LOCATION WAS COMPLETELY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CAMPUS WALKING WITH A GROUP OF PEOPLE I HAD TO STAY UP WITH THEM. I seriously thought i was going to have a heart attack and die before we ever made it. My son kept asking if i was ok? I lied and said yes but what i was really thinking was " OMG I am going to have a heart attack right here and they are going to have to call the paramedics I am going to totally embarrass my son!!!! We made it to our location and honestly i don't know how i did but i was dripping sweat and could of used some oxygen! He had to stay at that location for a meeting that just involved students so it was up to me to get back across campus by myself which was a good thing because i had to stop ALOT before i made it across

    That was my "aha" summer. I was banded last Friday 4/9/10 and can't wait to visit him now at A&M and my fiance and I are looking into honeymooning in Italy something i would of never been able to do w/o surgery due to all the walking

    It is so nice to know that you are not alone in this...thanks for sharing all of your stories
