Vibrations

Anyone else out there have a symptom like a vibration in their lower abdomen? I am 2 years post lap banding and had my last fill of .6 ml removed 3 weeks ago. Vibrations started 1 week ago.

Does it occur shortly after eating? Can be normal Peristalsis.

Are you getting all your Water intake?

Is it low in your intestines, or high in your esophagus?

There are times for me, when I gulp down large amounts of water all at once, I can feel it sit in my pouch momentarily then pass through the narrow opening of my band. This makes a "motorboat" type of sound - feeling, for only a few seconds. I kind of like it, reminds me that the band is there doing it's job.

Wonder what it would sound like if I have my mouth open.

I drink 8 glasses a day, at least. It never occurs after eating, getting up or down I can cause it happen. The first time I thought I had my cell phone in my pocket! Always RLQ. I can only describe it like a cell phone on vibration.

I had this vibrating feeling in my lower groin area before I even had the band. Went for a sonogram and they could not find anything wrong. Went away just like it started.....?? I could only describe it as if you were sipping Water thru a straw. That was the sensation. It drove me crazy.......but it left. Hope yours disappears too. CAT

Tell your doc, its prob nothing, I swear I have had so many weird feelings and noises since being banded!

But...it can be s a heart arrhythmia (easily treated )called atrial fibrillation...get it checked out.

Or maybe something ET. Next time it happens turn out the lights and see if it glows.

Only Joking. I read too many books.

I have no earthly (?) idea what it could be.

Look on the bright side. Maybe it vibrates when you're standing over buried treasure. Or oil!

Not really sure about my surgeon. That may be something to look at, but after all it has been 2 years! Now that I am looking at this, I am not to sure about this entire journey. Just for weight Loss? No, but even the core morbidities should really be looked at thoroughly before such a drastic move.
