Do you think this is Lap Band surgery related??



Recommended Posts

I had surgery on May 3rd and I am down 43lb since surgery, have had 2 fills currently 4.5 CC's seems to be going great. I am working out 4-5 times per week at gym and enjoying life! Last Thurs. about 4 started to feel queezey didn't have much in my little stomach thought maybe I was just constipated. I left work at 5:30 headed to drop deposit and go to the gym. I had to pull over at McDonalds did't quite make it was going both ends (sorry!) I could not vomit just heave and had to go to bathroom evey few minutes till 8:00 PM just water....oh my hemmroids were not liking it! OK thought maybe I had a virus but a 4 hour virus didn't seem so awful but....Yesterday before lunch stomach pretty empty same thing and lasted all afternoon. Do you think this is band related or gastro related?? I go in for my 3rd fill next Wed and plan on talking to the nurse. Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

To me it sounds like it is some type of gastro issue. Activity at both ends definitely sounds like some type of virus or other bug. I had a coworker who recently went through something similar that lasted for about 2 months. He was eventually diagnosed with colitis. I would definitely talk to your nurse and doctor. Also, be sure to track all your food, the times you eat and when you get the nausea and other yucky feelings. This will be helpful to bring with you to the appointment because it might shed some light on the problem.

I hope you feel better soon.

ps...congrats on your fantastic weight loss!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
