Dizzy spells, fatigue, nausea, weird pain. Help! What is wrong with me?
9pdmnm5 replied to celeste_'s topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I realize it has been several months since your original post and hope by now you've gotten to the bottom of things. However, when I needed my gallbladder removed the only symptom I had was being nauseated. I had an ultrasound that didn't show any sludge or any signs. Finally had a hida scan that showed my gallbladder needed to be removed. -
hi there, i see you and i are similar in weight loss goal how are things going with a band? mine is causing me probs
-
As you will see in my previous post, I would not recommend the Missoula doctors. Dr.Pickhardt removed my gallbladder in '05 which didn't need to be removed. Dr.Swannack was supposed to perform my lap-band surgery but never did. Long story short, I ended up traveling out-of-state for my lap-band and am so grateful I did. Needless to say, I did not have a great experience with either one of these docs.

Hey there, how are you? I haven't heard from any of the September girls in a while so I thought I'd check in and see if everything is ok. I'm hovering around 50 lbs for the past month or so and getting a little frustrated. I think I need more of a fill...I am starting to slip back into my old eating habits again. Write when you get a chance.

do you ever check here? ihaven't for a while. remember when we were on it all the time? scared!

Too much restriction and no fill!

I had the exact same thing happen to me right after surgery. I had an extemely uncomfortable feeling in my chest/throat and my surgeon removed about 2 cc's from my band. If you are uncomfortable and think you may be getting dehydrated I would have it removed. You can always have it replaced at a later date. -
Hi! I am looking for a aftercare/fill doctor in the Missoula or Kalispell area. I know Dr.Pickhardt and Dr.Swannack are the bariatric surgeons in Msla but I've had a TERRIBLE experience with their office and would not recommend them to anyone. Please let me know if you are aware of any other doctors in the area. Thanks so much!

[Dr.K is a very busy man! However, I think I called around the 1st part of Aug. Had my consult 8/14 and scheduled surgery that day. So, I guess it was about 8 wks -
I'm full, and yet I'm hungry!
9pdmnm5 replied to jmegirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I still struggle with this. Its a very odd sensation when your large tummy feels hungry but your pouch is at maximum fullness. Sometimes I think a lot of it is psychological w/me and wish I had been better prepared for this. It will get better.:thumbup: -
Painful stomach growling???
9pdmnm5 replied to starr's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I too got the hunger pangs. I got very frustrated w/everyone telling me it was mind hunger when I was in physical pain. Anyway, to this day my large stomach will growl w/hunger pangs when my small stomach is full. Its very frustrating but now that I can eat solids its much better. If that is your worst complaint, you are doing swell. :thumbup: Hang in there!
