I can't tell...did you have the lap band? If so, was it the Realize? The loose stool is common in the beginning...better than a hard one, if you get my drift! Also, are you and Oregon gal? I'm in Coos Bay/North Bend. I'm also a bander, so email me, jeri

I had RNY gastric bypass.... and had the runs for about a week. It was unpleasant, as they were uncontrollable and would come at unexpected moments, and I had to have help cleaning myself and everything around me up... but they DID go away, and now everything is much better. But NOW, it might be three days or so before I have a bowel movement. I think I need to follow my doctor's instructions and just take a stool softener every evening before bed.

I had the same problem for about a week and still do everytime I do liquids after a fill or while doing a carb detox. When I complained about it to my surgeon, he said it was better than the alternative which is constipation and is the usual. Told me to be thankful. Dawn
