Has anyone taken probiotics with the lap band? If you have, how did it affect the band?

I take them every day. I was having trouble with my digestion when I first got the band, and the doctor advised me to go back to take the probiotics. They are good for your tummy and your digestion not to mention keeping your immune system healthy.

Since I started taking them again, no more digestive issues

I drink one (1.9oz bottle) every morning and to be honest, I think it helped knock me off of a plateau. Once I made this a part of my routine about a week ago, I've been losing about 1lb a day after the third day - I was at a standstill for nearly a week before that.

I use Bariatric Advantage chewable probiotic. I buy a few of their vitamin and or mineral products.

I also take every day (prescription) Miralx powder and colace liquid.

Thanks, I am taking some now. Just wanted to be sure it was OK.

What brand??

my dr told me after surgery to take them (i still open a capsule a day and put into my morning shake) to help calm my #2 down after surgery.......aka liquids in and liquids out saga.......i def felt a noticable different within 48 hours......and i feel it helps me to this day.....

What brand??

I use La-La, Yakult or whatever is on sale. La-La is always .99 for a 6 pack, but I don't know if that's a national brand or not. You can find them either in the dairy case, near the yogurt or cheese.

The strawberry and pineapple are great!

Thanks. I hate to randomly buy something and its just awful.
