lap band associated with headaches?



Recommended Posts

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.

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

@@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.

thank you I'm aware of that I was just wondering if anyone else gets headaches as well after eating

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 .

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      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.
