This is very strange for me because I've been cruising along with my lap-band for 2 years now with zero complications. Now, all of a sudden, in the past 4 weeks or so, I've developed weird, nauseated like symptoms. I actually thought I might be pregnant, because it feels like morning sickness ... sporadic waves of nausea throughout the day. It doesn't matter if I eat or don't eat. And, no, I'm not pregnant.

I've looked at the symptoms for band slippage and they don't seem to be me: I don't have reflux OR vomiting. Just weird waves of nausea. My weight loss has slowed ... but a lot of that is me ... I haven't been exercsing as much as I used to and I don't have very much left to lose.

I actually felt mauseated like this before I had my band, but after I had my gall bladder removed. But, I hadn't felt like this in years.

I'm bummed. I want to feel better. :smile2:

Thoughts?

It's lasted for some time now. Have you talked to your doc.? I would if I were you. Feel better!

I'm having the same problem and I was banded over 2 years ago. Doc is about to order an endo to make sure it's not then band, then he says he'll check my gallbladder and pancreas.

All I know is that I feel like this all day every day for about 5 weeks now. I really need to feel better.

Did your nausea go away? What did you find out?

What does the doctor have to say about this? Looking stuff up just isn't enough in circumstances like this.

My primary doctor blew me off, but when I went to my bariatric doctor, he thinks I need my gallbladder out. He ordered an ultra sound, I'm waiting for results.

I am also having trouble eating, it's like my band is too tight, but it's not. The doc said he thinks I'm having esophegeal spasms.

All I know is that I'm anxious to get this stuff taken care of so I can tighten my band back up and get the rest of this weight off.
