Hello I had the Lap Band procedure 5 years ago. It is the best thing i have ever done. went from 103 k's to 78k's. Over time I have had a recurring stomach upset that leaves me very lethargic and fatigued. This time the attacks seem to be recurring more often. I thought I was allergic to milk and dairy, went off that and it seemed to work however a week later it is back and i have not had dairy. As soon as the pain in my stomach leaves my energy is back, but this week i can crash after every time I eat. has anyone any clues as to what I could be doing that is not agreeing with me. I am usually a very active person and cannot handle being debilitated like this. Margaret

Margaret I don't know if its band related but if I were you I would definately get a check up at the doctors. You never know what it could be.

Margaret, i was just reading your post. I do to have same issues, comes and goes i have only had my band for 5 months now. I have this feeling in my stomach like a

sickness that comes two to three days and then goes again. I to thought it was due to foods my stomach couldn't handle, its not the case. I feel lethargic want to sleep for an hour or two.

Put off my food. I did think there was an issue with my port, tube, then band..So many things were going through my head. then i come good again. Very strange. If anyone does have

an answer tell me to please.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
