Dizziness when eating

[Tally23 0]

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 been getting nauseous since getting my tightened as well. I just have to slow down and eat less.

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!
