ltoni90 2 Posted February 22, 2016 hello I've had my lap band since 2012. I never had any major complications but lately I've been noticing when I eat I'm getting strange feelings like headaches. the other day I felt as if I was going to fall over because the head pain was so bad and my eyes felt crossed for a minute. I thought it was because I hadn't eaten for hours and it was after my first bite of food when I stood up to sit at another table that I felt the dizzyness. In general something doesn't feel right when I eat lately and it never used to happen. I'm getting worried.

WLSResources/ClothingExch 3,444 Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) All things are possible, but that's one I've never heard. Are you perhaps for an annual physical? I'd check in with my regular doctor and, because you're associating it with eating, with my surgeon. (Are you well hydrated?)

I haven't been in for a check up in a while or had blood work done in a long time so I am definitely over due for that. I drink Water everyday but probably not enough Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WLSResources/ClothingExch 3,444 Posted February 23, 2016 @@ltoni90, I was only suggesting a couple of things for you to consider. It's time to call your doctor. This website has reat merits, but it does not provide medical advice or medical care. I just noticed that you mentioned dizziness in addition to headaches. Because of something I'm experiencing (concussion), let your regular doctor know if you've had a head bang recently, either in a fall or any other way. It's nothing to get upset about, but also nothing to ignore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WLSResources/ClothingExch 3,444 Posted February 23, 2016 @@ltoni90, I'll be interested to know what you find out after talking with reg. doctor and surgeon or someone in the surgery office. Here's hoping that you've just picked up a bug and it will pass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Debbie3sons 1,936 Posted February 23, 2016 I was going to say the same thing about being hydrated because Dehydrated is really bad for Banders & I have gotten headaches v& dizziness from being Dehydrated, always try to have Water near by even if it's just to be able to take a little sip .
