I was just banded 11/06/07. Have had no problems except for gas pains (think I'm gonna "splode"). My M.D. said to watch for shoulder pain, and hopefully it wouldn't last too long. So far so good! He also said the shoulder pain actually comes from the Diaphragm, although the pain is felt in the left shoulder. Weird huh, Something about "referred pain". Makes some sense though, the diaphragm is the big sheet of muscle that separates the heart & lungs from the stomach so no telling what happens to it during surgery.
