weight loss surgery & IBS       09/18/05 06:21 PM Edit Reply Quote Suzy2 Reged: 09/18/05 Posts: 1 Hello I just joined this group. I am 50 yrs old and have had IBS for about 25 years. If only this board were around then, I learned what not to eat by hit or miss, a painful process. I am over 100 lbs overweight and am currently waiting to see if my insurance company will approve LAP band surgery, which is a bariatric surgery somewhat like gastric bypass but completely reversible if need be. One of the first things you learn when researching this surgery is that rice, white bread and potatos are not allowed because they say they will expand in your stomach which will be too tiny to take it and will stick in your stoma (the hole between the pouch and the rest of your stomach) Those have been my "buffer"foods for years. Can anyone suggest something else? And by the way why is it that you can have diarrhea for days and not lose a single ounce!! Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
