I think the diahrhea is very common. If you think about it, all you are putting in is liquid. I had it for many days. Just make sure you keep hydrated. Take in as much water as possible. You still may call the dr though, afterall he is the expert and I am sure you paid him well for this *L* I called my dr.s office a lot! Karen

Hi everyone. I had my Lap-band last Tuesday and everything went pretty well. Dr. Hung said it was a good thing we moved it to St. E's because he'd have had to call an ambulance during the surgery and get me over there. I am only 4'11" and he said my organs are so packed in he could get in there very well. Ended up with an almost 2 hour surgery, 8 incisions & 2 hours in recovery because of the pain in my back from the cO2 gas. Anyway I am felling much better, but struggling with my food--even water seems to give me diahrhea. Plus I constantly feel like I am sick to my stomach. I've been using Pepcid and Gas-X but nothing so far seems to help. I am still on liquids for another week, and try to take in about 2 oz at a time. I would appreciate any advice, suggestion, etc. I've gotten to where I am almost afraid to eat because I know I am going to be sick. If nobody has had this problem, I will call the doctor tomorrow ans see what they suggest. --Angie
