i came down with flu like symptoms in august had diaherra for 7 weeks and felt exhausted every day had to have a dr note and worked part time for 2 months. i still have diaherra often they took all saline out 2 months ago and i felt better for 2 weeks so i had 1cc put in felt ok for one week then started feeling nauseas. went back in 2 weeks had .5cc put in within 1 day felt sick again and run down. finally went 2 weeks ago and had saline removed against doctors wishes. ever since that ive had sharp pains and aching in one part of my stomach not a belly ache but sharp pain in just one area. the doctor doesnt think i have any problems with band. also in past 7 weeks my hair has drastically fallen out my teeth ache every day and i lost 22 pounds in 7 weeks help what should i do i am going back to surgeon friday but she wont take me seriously what else could it be?

I'm sorry you've been so sick. I can't believe your doctor is not taking you seriously, whether she thinks it's a band problem or not. I would think you should have your band checked under fluoro, and if nothing amiss is found, an endoscopy to check things out. You also need to have a medical review. Your symptoms are seriously impacting your life and are cause for concern. Even if it's not your band, you need to get the bottom of what's causing your illness(es).

Not that we can diagnose you on a message board, but where are you having pain?

In addition to having an upper GI, you should have complete blood work. Make sure it includes a complete thyroid profile. Your symptoms could be any number of things and they should be taken seriously.

i just had blood work done everything fine except im a little anemic i havent felt well for 3 months its frustrating now the stomach pain in one spot scares me today i have a fever and had one yesterday and feel run down again it never stops
