My problem - I had my 3rd fill a month or so ago... In the a.m., I can eat almost nothing; by noon, I can eat so long as I go slowly, and at dinner, after the first few bites, I have to wait a few minutes and burp a couple of times... Then I can eat virtually any and everything... I haven't lost a single pound since the fill... I need to lose another 25-30 lbs... I have only lost 15 after being banded a year ago... Any ideas, please...

Shoulder pain WILL go away... I had it really bad, too, but it DID go away... Will still flare up a bit if I try to eat too much!!! It is VERY normal post-op

The back pain is a result of the abdominal surgery. use a heating pad and a hot shower. Mine lasted until about 1 1/2 weeks post-op and is pretty much gone now (2 weeks post-op). It was horrible from about Day 5 - Day 8 or so post-op.

My BMI was 35; I had lap band on 2/5/07 and in 10 days, I have lost 13 lbs. I am doing great & am thrilled with results so far! Like you, I had no real health problems YET, but I simply could not seem to lose any more weight, despite regular exercise. (I am 47 yoa). I think the decision is one that you have to make for yourself, based on your own research and consultation with people you trust. Good luck & God bless.
