Hi

Nope never tried it, each to their own but its not for me! Check with your provider but I dont see why your band would need to be deflated.

Is it the same as irrigation?If its in large bowel area it shouldbe ok but ask doc first!

I wondered if it was the same as Colonic Irrigation too. Irrigation/Hydration being along similar themes....

Ive had colonic irregation and ok it clears you out but I think a good diet is just as good,eat the right stuff poop it too!If you eat high fat,carb,sweet diet your plumbing is bound to get bunged up!Cut down on them and up the fibre.

Thanks for your replies, but wasn't asking for weightloss. I already follow a high protein diet and am very nearly at target, but suffer terribly with IBS and have just suffered a really bad bout of it and told that it could really help me

I don't think you need your band defilled, not as if the tube is going near your tummy, not even near your intestines. Are you still in touch with your surgery provider?

The water goes round your lower bowel no further,I had ibs it didnt help me though.It clears you out but as soon as you eat it starts to build again.Its meats that tend to build in the gut.
