No way! They were never even mentioned to me, thank goodness or I may have backed out of it! Sorry Sunwyse you're the first person I've heard that from!

are we talking about suppositries for the obvious reasons or are we talking for medication purposes....

if for the obvious....as long as your taking in some fibre of some sort and lots of Water then you should be ok...lots of bandits have a few going to the loo problems....and find many ways around this before suppositries....

if they are medication then take oral meds.....yes many analgaesics come in suppositry form...rofl

I havent known any bandits to have the need to use them:crying:

Nope, these were given to me to help stop inflammation in the wound sites. I'd never heard of them either, but there you go.

okay well yes i have known of them to be given for this reason though not common when oral meds can be taken....never mind dont be too spaced out by this....good idea is to lay on your left side....draw one knee up and go from there.....sorry to sound so clinical....have given a good many in my time rofl

and good luck hun:thumbup:

Constipation is very normal for banded people. It's hard to get in all the fiber we need when we eat protein first and there is little room for fruits and veggies. Is that what you're talking about?

Hi Sunwyse,

I did not have to take them and I got banded by Dr Copps the same as you. Not that I wanted to get them either poor you.

Sam

no they not those type of suppositories....

well hun you shouldnt have to have them for too long

perhaps there is an underlying medical reason you have to do it

big deep breathe....as i always used to tell the poor sods I have given them too...and its all over:blushing:

but im sending you cyber hugs:lol:

You really would of backed out because of suppositories Emma?????

They are really no big deal.

Sunwyse, I had to take them also & I know it's a bit yuck, but they work wonders for your recovery & they work quickly.

They reduce ANY swelling.

You would only have to take them for a few weeks or even days.

Not many people bring up that they had to take them as it can be a bit embarassing. I've spoken to quite a few people who have had to take them also.

Maybe not, who knows. I definately would have asked if there was an alternative!

I did not need any antiflamatory suppositorys, it is not common infact most only need panadol that is all i used and i only had a couple, good luck with it all.
