Suzanne, Hi, the main reason why i did not find out earlier was because the symptoms, I really do not know how old is the lapband surgery technique, but what I´m shure is that there was not so many post, cases, testimonies and information in that time, there was only one forum where I did post, and nobody seemed to share the exact same symptoms that i was having, in fact, was because of that why I stooped checking the forums. How is it possible that anxiety can be related with this kind of surgery?, of course the logic makes you think that if is this started to happen after the operation, the operation must be the cause, but is not that easy, first it can be easily related with so many other psychological symptoms that have nothing to do with the stomach or the band for the 99.9 percent of the doctors, including the one who made the band operation. Second, even doe that i have been feeling terrible for the last five years, believe me, it´s very hard to think about getting another surgery without really knowing if removing the band will solve and stop the problems, so you constantly block yourself about the band having something to do with this, in fact I have read some post where people complain about feeling worst once the band was removed, this makes you think it twice In this moment the band is completely open and I still feel terrible and nothing have change, I had my gallbladder removed like two years before the band. Here is a list of almost all the symptoms. Constant Feeling of Dizziness, but stronger in two particular cases, after eating or evacuating. Fatigue, I feel exauted and sleepy a lot, to the point that I can sleep four or five hours during the day and then have a normal night sleep. Gas, nauceas and Diarrhea, these ones can be related with the fact of not having gallbladder, but once again don´t remember them before the surgery. Headkes and for over all the Above, Stress and anxiety, including some uncommon panic attacks. These are the all that I can think now, and for what I have read, all of them are now very common to find among todays banders. Please excuse my english and any grammar mistakes, I did tried to be the more explicit that I could. P.D, i did not notice how old the this post was bytheway...

Hi, I really know how you feel because I been having the exact same symptoms since the first few days that I had my band on, I have almost five years with my band and i´m decided to take it off, what i´m worry about is that the nerve has been damage and i have no remedy for my anxiety, after five years of terrible suffering and when i say terrible suffering believe me, i mean it, I don´t know if I will ever come back to normal, the only treatment that really work for me is Sanax. To be Honest I did cry when I red your post, because I have been feeling alone all these years, trying to found out what is wrong with me, the only thing that i´m sure is that did not feel this way before the operation. I really don´t speak english very well and for that reason i can not express or say everything i would like to, but for all this matter, you have all my support. Sorry for my english, hope we can share some information and see if we can help each other. Saludos from Venezuela. ATT Miguel
