IN need of Help

[Lakeside5 0]

Had lamp band jan 2008. weight around 210. June 2008, fell broak my wrist. I think I was not eating enough. never ate a lot to begin with. Had trouble with blood sugars. Got down to about 165 at that time. Starting having some re-gurg issues and they took out most of the Fluid. Went back two month later and placed a small amount. Problem is I really cannot eat very much, no am I hungry. SOund good...no I cannot remember anything, I think it is now affecting my thinking. I do not eat, I don loose weight, just stay the say. DO not know what to do I just do not feel well. What do you think. No I have not been to the doctor, insurance has changed and everything is out of pocket. Please ...any suggestions.

How about a PCP if not your surgeon?? You could be deficient in various nutrients or just maybe sick ( hope not) Just go to a regular doctor. Tell him/her you don't feel well and mention the band. Good luck...by the way you should be able to talk to your surgeon by phone too.

Sending healthy vibes your way. Call your doctor, your symptoms are not normal!

Try juicing vegies and fruit and take suppliments if you can afford them. If your not eating your not getting any nutrients. Try Meal Replacement Soups or shakes. I hope this helps.

Do you take in at least 60g Protein a day?

Could be a B1 deficiency. I just read that people who've had WLS being at risk for a B1 deficiency & that can def. affect a person's memory.

of course you need to go see your doctor.

Can you just put a call in to the doc to see what they suggest? I had to have my band removed after similar symptoms. I wasn't eating and not losing, turned out that I had Fluid building up due to inflamation. That may not be the case and although I am all for the gastric band I have to say... if you suspect a problem you MUST bring it to the attention of the doc because if you don't, that's when it could become a real problem. Please make the call!
