Dizziness when eating



Recommended Posts

So I was banded back in Aug 2010.

I had pancreatitis in the past- Nov 2010.

I had a CT scan done recently and I guess the band was ok according to that but they found multiple inflammed lymph nodes around my pancrease, mild diverticulosis and a 4mm left kidney stone. I have been having nausea- which is something Ive always had but it is worse. I am also having lightheadedness when I eat. It only lasts a few seconds but it is when the food hits the band. I am not sure what it going on but it has me scared.

I have 5cc in my band and have thrown up a few times since then. My band gets tighter during stress, menstral cycles or when Im upset and I havent gotten use to that which is where the throwing up comes from I guess....

Any thoughts or has anyone had this experience??

I have had many, many kidney stones and know they can cause substantial pain but also vomiting. For me the pain can be in my back or as it moves down the ureter can be in the front groin area. Because you have a band and a stone and other issues it would be hard to determine exactly what is causing your symptoms in my opinion. I have felt lightheaded from the nausea of stone pain. You would want to be followed closely though with all of that going on. You may be able to pass a stone that size, though if it is sitting in the lower pole in the kidney it can stay there for a very long time with no problems at all. Good luck!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
