I have the exact same problem. I have a colonoscopy on the 2nd. It started a few days after my band and I had NO problems before. I swear it's got to be some new thing with the band...I'd love to talk to the thread starter because I feel really alone. I've called into work many times because it becomes so unbearable I can't take it! My surgeon thinks I'm a hypochondriac or something, if you go thru my posts - I've been posting about it for months!

Please, anyone? Any other ideas? I have also been to the ER and had cat scans. It's in my lower abs, intestines maybe?
