Lap band and fiber for constipation

by cath030365, Dec 21, 2007 03:53PM
I have to take Fiber daily or I have constipation.  I also want to loose 150 lbs.  With constipation, would it be better for me to do the lap band or the by pass surgery.  Or will this work itself out as I loose weight.  I also have PCOS, will this reverse witht he weight loss?

I have pcos and I am getting the lap band surgery in march or april. I was on metformin and I lost weight but it damaged my liver after being on it for a year. I would talk to your doctor to see what is good for you.
