lap band associated with headaches?



Recommended Posts

hello I've had my lap band since 2012. I never had any major complications but lately I've been noticing when I eat I'm getting strange feelings like headaches. the other day I felt as if I was going to fall over because the head pain was so bad and my eyes felt crossed for a minute. I thought it was because I hadn't eaten for hours and it was after my first bite of food when I stood up to sit at another table that I felt the dizzyness. In general something doesn't feel right when I eat lately and it never used to happen. I'm getting worried.

All things are possible, but that's one I've never heard. Are you perhaps for an annual physical? I'd check in with my regular doctor and, because you're associating it with eating, with my surgeon.

(Are you well hydrated?)

I haven't been in for a check up in a while or had blood work done in a long time so I am definitely over due for that. I drink Water everyday but probably not enough

@@ltoni90, I was only suggesting a couple of things for you to consider. It's time to call your doctor. This website has reat merits, but it does not provide medical advice or medical care.

I just noticed that you mentioned dizziness in addition to headaches. Because of something I'm experiencing (concussion), let your regular doctor know if you've had a head bang recently, either in a fall or any other way. It's nothing to get upset about, but also nothing to ignore.

thank you I'm aware of that I was just wondering if anyone else gets headaches as well after eating

I was going to say the same thing about being hydrated because Dehydrated is really bad for Banders & I have gotten headaches v& dizziness from being Dehydrated, always try to have Water near by even if it's just to be able to take a little sip .

      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! 😞
