Anixety after lap band

Every since I had the lap band surgery 5 years ago I have had this feeling of anixety.  I even had a total Cardiac work up 2 years after the surgery because of the feelings.  I get mad easier,  frustrated and I do hold it in but I can tell that I am just not my happy go lucky self.  I have had the band too tight at times and this feeling severely increased.  When I got the fluid deceased my mood got better. I only lost 60 lbs and I have been still a little overweight since.  I am a diabetic and this did get better as I lost weight.  I am still on insulin and that was very scary decreasing insuling as I lost weight.  Alot of lows in the night.   I am a nurse and the only thing I can tell you is that we learned in nursing people are not as easy to get along with when they do not feel good.  I just mentally don't feel as good has I have most of my life.  Has anyone out there experienced this with the lap band?  I have considered having the lap band removed because of this.  I do have a different relationship with food now but tired of being irritable.

Have a test to test hormones and full bloods and all possible blood tests you can have to make sure everything is working right, levels are right and not affected by the band, as there could be a reason for this change.  60 pounds is a good weight loss so don't be hard on yourself about that.  With the fills/removals, it is a matter of trial and error before you get the band tight enough to not eat too much but just enough to have the small meal you are meant to have.  Make sure your iron level is ok as it can cause problems if is it low and if you are female you need to have enough iron because of periods each month and the blood loss from them.

You could also be pre- menopausal. Irritability is a symptom. You might want to get checked for that.
