Hi,

I was revised from band to bypass last Tuesday and have been having regular movements, two- to three-times-a-day since Saturday. I haven't had to rely on softeners or laxatives, the consistency is normal, and I don't experience any discomfort.

Good luck with your decision!

I am band to BP and have often had constipation issues in the past. I am only 12 days post op but no issues so far. Good luck.
