Hello all just posted on Friday the 1st. I had my lap band and plication surgery. Although I seem to be recovering ok im going through extreme bouts of hunger pain in a very short time span. What I mean by that is the hunger doesnt slowly come on it hits me like a ton of bricks and is very painful until I get something in me. Does any other ibanders go through this im very curious??

What and how much are you eating?

Honestly, I have similar issues now and my sugery was June 2012 and I didn't have plication. I tend to get hungry before I realize it and it is dizzy painful hunger. My doc told me to set an alarm on my phone to remind me to eat.

I have plication also (and nothing has ever been painful except immediately after surgery) so I am kinda at a loss at what to think...def a call to your doctor is in order here if you are really concerned (and painful as you described *extreme*)

Well im consistently sipping on soup or some form of protein shake...even once im satisfied I stop then an hour in or so all of a sudden extreme hunger pain kicks in and I feel like I have to hurry to get something in me, if I dont its painful and makes me nauseous. I called my Dr. Just waiting on a call back. Thanks for the advice
