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 .

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
