Hunger pains 2 weeks post lapband



Recommended Posts

Hello,

I was banded November 14th. I have terrible hunger pains. I feel like I need to try and eat more but that doesn't help. The hunger pains return after about 10 mins. Any idea why this is happening?

Thanks,

Rosemarie

Your band is not yet restricted. Your mind may be telling you it is hunger pain when it is really normal digestion. Talk with your surgeon's office. It is easy to let our imagination get away from us. Drink a glass of Water or hot tea or Protein shake.

You can do this! Success will be yours if you invest the time and effort into yourself. Good luck and be strong.

Are you banded or do you have the sleeve? Your profile says Gastric Sleeve?

      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.
