So I've had the band for 4 years in May and I seem to be having daily bloating it is so uncomfortable. Does anyone know if it has anything to do with my band???? I need help I'm in so much pain daily

Hi i'm feeling the same way did you find anything out? i'm not sure if the problem is lactose, food choices or something else. Before this I have not had any problems. please help.

Are you constipated? I feel that way when I am. I suffer very bad from constipation. I have tried everything and nothing works. I drink a tea called Smooth Move by Traditional Medicines and it helps me a lot.

Have u tried milk of magnesia?

The milk of magnesia works. It is just REALLY disgusting.

I got the cherry flavored. It was really sweet but not as gross as I was afraid of

I have a question. Why do we have to sip water? I mean if we can tolerate actual drinks is that bad? So hard to get enough water with sipping

You sip water now to get use to drinking that way it will help you once you get restriction

You sip Water now to get use to drinking that way it will help you once you get restriction

Also it decrease the risk of bloating increased gas. Think of the water coolers that bubble up air when you change the bl. Sort of!

Thx! That makes a lot of sense

Hi thanks everyone. Yes I tried the milk of magnesia it helps and i also realized that eatting a lot of carotts can cause bloating. I have another question. I got my band several years ago but sometimes when i lift something heavy or work out i get pain in my scar area. has anyone else experienced this?
