Hi, i was banded on fri the 22nd.. i had some yougurt (light no sugar) day before yesterday w/ no problem... my nut.. told me lap-band patients "usually" dont experience the dairy problems that come along w/ the other surgerys but it might be an individual thing.. did you have your nut.. appointment yet  maybe you could talk to him/her about it.. good luck,,Kim

Hi and Welcome!

I had bypass but I know, with lapband, you can have dairy products. Yogurt is a staple for both surgery patients.

You're not being re-routed so you should not have a problem with it if you haven't before. Unless of course you have problems with reflux. Sometimes this can be exaserbated with dairy food and lapband.

Hope to see you around here a lot! We have several Banders here and there is a lapband forum available to you as well!

With the Lap Band - none of your insides are re-routed so you shouldnt have any problems with tolerating dairy products - as long as you could tolerate them before surgery.

I had lap band 4/1 and have not had an issue with dairy.  I eat Yogurt most every morning for breakfast.  As a matter of fact, I haven't found anything that I can't eat yet.
