Opinions Needed Please

First a bit of back ground. I got the lapband in Aug 07 so I have had it for a while now and I have never had any problems before. But the last couple of weeks have been strange and Im not sure if it has to do with the band or not. It started with me having problems with acid reflux at night. I have never had a problem with it before, well not often enough to think about it. Also my last fill was in aug. 08 and everything went fine. The last week my stomach has been very sensative. It hurts at times after I eat and other times eating helps it. The pain I feel is more in my lower stomach than in the pouch created by the lapband. I have also been feeling warm (but havent run an temp) had slight headaches and been a little light headed. What really concerns me is I have lost 10 lbs in the last 2 weeks even though I havent been eating any less, other than the last two days. I dont know if I should check with my lapband Doc about how I have been feeling or if I should check with a regular doctor. I would love anyones thoughts or opinions. Thank you

Pam

Call your Lap-band doc!

This happened to one of the other moderators on here and she had to get unfilled for a while. She'd be the first to tell you (when she sees this thread) that waiting too long to get this looked at is a bad idea.

Thank you MacMadame. I will do that soon as I can. I have to work tomorrow and have Jury duty tuesday (who knows how long or how many days that will take). I was also thinking that I have been drinking milk again after staying away from it since being banded. I need to do some research on what the symptoms of being lactose intolerant are. It is the only thing I can think of that i am doing differently. Thanks again
