Left shoulder is hurting because of the vein the band lies on around our tummy and because of the gas that was injected. It will eventually subside. Congratulations on being banded.
-
I was even told that after a few yrs of being banded that the fluid actually evaporates some therefore a fill will be needed.
-
Unfortunately this is part of the process. Feeling restriction doesn't happen overnight or in the first couple of months for many bandsters. However there are some whom it does but for most of us, we don't feel restriction until after several fills. Good luck.

Because I'm an educator, I make sure I plan my procedures around our breaks either during spring break, summer, or in the case with my band, at Christmas break so I had two weeks of recovery. I wasn't trying to rush into things. It took me every bit of a week or so to recover.

Starting over with a complete unfill
Lady VS replied to duckydoom's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I haven't experienced what you're going through but will say just take it one day at a time. Keep following your doctor's orders and remember to chew, chew, chew. Good luck and you will get there. -
At what point did you start counting your weight loss?
Lady VS replied to JanaAZ's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
My highest weight ever was 242 pounds but that was well over 10 years ago. I count my weight by the first appointment I had before I began the pre-op diet which was a month before my surgery. -
I mostly mixed my powdered drinks with water. You can also use your favorite low calorie juice.

Bread/pasta question
Lady VS replied to planetheather's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
To answer your question, the answer is yes, you can eat pasta and sandwiches. Many of us choose not to though. -
pre op appt and jerk of a doctor
Lady VS replied to betty_s's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wow! You would think people in such a capacity to make a change would be a bit more sensitive. I guess no matter how long you go to school to obtain a degree, it doesn't change one's personality. What a but-hole!!!!! I'm glad he at least had the decency to suggest you see another surgeon. Glad it turned out well for you. Good luck. -
Yes ma'am everyday. Can't live without it.

That's great!!! Keep up the great work.

Maintenance- what does it look like.....
Lady VS replied to enjoythetime's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi there. I'm still doing as if I'm trying to lose. I still eat within 800-1000 calories. Each day is different. I did not get an unfill because I want to keep the restriction that I have. If I were unfilled, I would gain weight for sure and I'm certainly not trying to do that. Good luck. -
Not sure, I think most of us was too scared to move on further before time.
