Help. Spasm/Fluttering Around Band?!



Recommended Posts

I am 3 months post op and down 35 lbs. I have had no complications and just got my first fill a few weeks ago. Today I had a very weird fluttering feeling around my band. It felt like it was spasming. It didn't hurt, just made me nervous. Has anyone had this happen to them. It only lasted about 30 secs but happened about 3 times in 30 mins. I also hadn't eaten yet so it may have been my stomach growling? Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks!!

Hi Mandy,

Well your stomach is a muscle, so it's not at all impossible for it to spasm and flutter like any other muscle. I suspect you just didn't feel it in the past because there wasn't a band for it to flutter against.

I honestly wouldn't worry about it unless it becomes a regular thing. Maybe just mention it to your doctor and see what they say.

Best wishes.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
