Has anyone experienced problem with dairy products after being banded? Seems lately when I drink milk I have horrible cramps in my stomach and chest. I'm taking small sips not sure if this is common.

I am fine with milk! (having to use it for cream of soups) I usually drink silk milk though.

I haven't really heard of anyone having issues with dairy products, but everyone is different.

I have heard others speak of it . Being sensitive to milk products all of a sudden.

Not sure what's going on with me lately but I've always been a milk drinker and now can't handle any dairy products. Solid food has been a problem : (

I'm ok with dairy but think I'm better off without it which has been hard for me to let go of. I am sorry that you're struggling and I hope it works out. What kind of problems with solids? How far post op are you? I had solids for the first time today and I think it's stuck so I'm not happy but this too shall pass...

yes i have. Ive been banded coming on four months now. i was using skim milk in my protein shakes and was ill with pain. i wasnt sure if it was my gall bladder but i was a mess.. anyway, i had to start thinking about what id eaten or drunk that ive not usually had. im not a milk user normally. i cut the milk out of the protein shake... just had some greek yoghurt... and within 12 hours the pain had gone. so... yes, in my opinion i reckon it does affect some people. i have no idea why but for me it was very painful... nearly crippled me.

Yes, i cant handle milky coffees anymore, cheese and yogurt are fine, and cold skim milk in amounts such as a bowl of cereal, but warmed, ugh. Nausea followed by gas.

I was banded 4/4/12. I had a fill Tuesday 2.5 cc. I tried mashed potatoes without milk and they actually stayed down. I think I'm going to say away from dairy for a few days and see if I can handle real food again. Thanks everyone : )
