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.

      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.
