Anyone else out there have a symptom like a vibration in their lower abdomen? I am 2 years post lap banding and had my last fill of .6 ml removed 3 weeks ago. Vibrations started 1 week ago.

Does it occur shortly after eating? Can be normal Peristalsis.

Are you getting all your Water intake?

Is it low in your intestines, or high in your esophagus?

There are times for me, when I gulp down large amounts of Water all at once, I can feel it sit in my pouch momentarily then pass through the narrow opening of my band. This makes a "motorboat" type of sound - feeling, for only a few seconds. I kind of like it, reminds me that the band is there doing it's job.

Wonder what it would sound like if I have my mouth open.

I drink 8 glasses a day, at least. It never occurs after eating, getting up or down I can cause it happen. The first time I thought I had my cell phone in my pocket! Always RLQ. I can only describe it like a cell phone on vibration.

I had this vibrating feeling in my lower groin area before I even had the band. Went for a sonogram and they could not find anything wrong. Went away just like it started.....?? I could only describe it as if you were sipping Water thru a straw. That was the sensation. It drove me crazy.......but it left. Hope yours disappears too. CAT

Tell your doc, its prob nothing, I swear I have had so many weird feelings and noises since being banded!

But...it can be s a heart arrhythmia (easily treated )called atrial fibrillation...get it checked out.

Sure the Dr. didn't put something else in there also?? Tracking device?

Your not with the federal Government, are you? CIA?

Or maybe something ET. Next time it happens turn out the lights and see if it glows.

Only Joking. I read too many books.

I have no earthly (?) idea what it could be.

Look on the bright side. Maybe it vibrates when you're standing over buried treasure. Or oil!

Not really sure about my surgeon. That may be something to look at, but after all it has been 2 years! Now that I am looking at this, I am not to sure about this entire journey. Just for weight Loss? No, but even the core morbidities should really be looked at thoroughly before such a drastic move.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
