:clap2:Hello, I am new to LBT. I was banded on May 16th by Dr. Arcand in Worcester Massachusetts. I was reading all your posts about the shoulder pain and can definately relate. The pain has gone away now but was very uncomfy for about a full week. The surgery went great ( a little more pain than I expected ) but overall not to bad. I am excited to have found this site and look forward to chatting with all of you. I am 2 weeks post op and about to be put on the mushies, maybe then I can get in the amount of protein that I need because I am not making it with the liquids. :hungry: Congrats to all the other May bandsters !

Hi Thought i would introduce myself. I just joined LBT. I have been viewing it for a few monts. I was just banded 2 days ago in Worcester Massachusetts bu Dr. Arcand. I had a great experience ( little more pain than expected) but not too bad. I enjoy reading the posts here. It helped me prepare for the surgery. Looking forward to chating with you all.

Hi Tracey, I just joined this forum today and was reading your page. I was banded 2 days ago and just starting to feel a bit better. I also am just outside of Boston. I live in a small town next to Worcester, takes me about 45 min to get to Boston. I had my surgery at St. Vincents Hospital in Worcester with Dr. Arcane I LOVE HIM, he is so compassionate towards all his patients. Great to chat with someone real close. Christine
