There isn't a dumping stage with a band, or there isn't supposed to be.

Dizziness could be from low blood pressure, low Iron, low blood sugar ............. all sorts.

Maybe you are not eating enough. Next time it happens have some juice and see if that helps, if it does then it is proabbly low blood sugar which means that you might need to leave shorter gaps inbetween eating than you are currently.

"The runs" could be caused by something in the Protein shakes. Lots of people have intolerances to the lactose or soy or other things in them. Try cutting them out and only using real food and see if that helps.

Not sure about the sweats. That sounds like hormones (menopause,perimenopause) or maybe you have caught a bug. That could explain all your symptoms.

I would call your Dr and see what he thinks.

I don't believe there is a dumping stage with the Lapband. That is more with bypass. Something about when you eat sweets. Don't know that much about as I have never had it happen.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
