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.

Sure the Dr. didn't put something else in there also?? Tracking device?

Your not with the federal Government, are you? CIA?

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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
