Did anyone have a problem with constipation after being banded. I am 4 days banded and since I have been on liquids I think that might have something to do with it. Does / did anyone else have this problem and what did you do to help it along? Thanks.

Try some warm apple juice, it worked wonders for me!

i dint go for almost a week... i told my doc and he said to get dulcolax...it is a suppository which isnt much fun, but it worked almost instantly and boy did i feel better!

Prune juice

Milk of Magnesia

Thanks a bunch, will give them a try!!

I have the opposite effect, on day 4 and ever since (day 8 now) I have taken some pretty BAD poo's, sometimes up to 4 times a day. All i have is 2 apple juice boxes and water a day. Nothing else, where is it coming from? I think it may be from the antibiotics I'm on.

Stacey, I had the major poohs, too. Nasty & rumbly to the point I thought something was horribly wrong, so I ran to Urgent Care. They ran tons of tests but nothing was wrong. It was just years worth of built up sludge from way inside my colon & guts, I suppose. Sorry to get gross, but we're all in the same boat.

Yep no poo for one week.Then one huge one which I thought I would get piles from then there after back to normal.Drinks loads of water,water and more water.

Apple juice will make you have poos if you drink too much...So depending on the problem... you may want to look at how much you are drinking
