I HAD MY SURGERY JUNE 8TH. THE BAND IS WORKING FINE. I HAVE LOST 46 POUNDS ALONG WITH MY PRE OP WEIGHT LOSS OF 12 POUNDS. I AM HAVING A PROBLEM AND I AM HOPING SOMEONE OUT THERE CAN HELP ME WITH THIS BECAUSE THE PEOPLE AT THE WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM I GO TO ARE ACTING LIKE I AM CRAZY. I CAN FEEL MY BAND AND ALONG WITH IT I AM HAVING DISCOMFORT IN MY BACK. RIGHT BEHIND WERE THE BAND IS. THEY CHECKED FOR PLACEMENT AND IT IS FINE. THEY TELL ME TO GIVE IT TIME AND I MAY STILL HAVE SWELLING OR SOMETHING. BUT THIS IS MORE THAN THAT AND IT IS NOT GAS. HAS ANY ONE OUT THERE HAD A PROBLEM WITH FEELING THERE BAND AND HAVING BACK PAIN? PLEASE LET ME KNOW....

You talked about this with me on my blog. You sound like the same thing I had. I think all it was for me was heartburn. My pain was in the same spot yours is. when I took zantac 75 for the heartburn, my backpain was GONE. I had pain for a MONTH, DAILY, until i took the heartburn meds. check out my blog, i explained it a bit more. Let me know how it goes OK?

Remember you are healing from the inside out. I was banded a year ago June 29 it took me about a month to feel no pain any where. You have a lot of healing going on inside of you. Remember they have blown your body up with gas to put the band in some of your organs have been moved. Give yourself some time to heal. Walking will help whatever pain you may be feeling. Take a pain med. it will also help. Try to relax and sip water and follow the rules. You will feel better in two months wait a see just how much energy you have. I even have a pull and tug feeling every once in a while and I had my surgery a year ago. I have also lost 109 pounds and wear a size 10 down from a plus 24. Just wait and see what a year will bring you ;-) Best wishes imaluckydog

I'm almost 10 months out and can still feel where the band is when I bend over. I don't remember having any pain after surgery, I was sent home the same day I had surgery and was back at work 2 days later so I did very well. I felt it when I wore too tight of jeans though and that sucked because they were just tight around the waste not in the legs or anywhere else. Your pain should get better soon but if not, go see the doctor.
