Since you have lost weight have you noticed any changes in your marriage/relationship? Just curious :cry

THats wonderful, I have friend that was bannded about 2 year ago now and she is not going though a divorce all because her husband didnt like the changes and the confidence that she now has, its a sad situation and I pray my relationship doesnt go that way too.

Before weight 258 pounds 2007 weight 199 pounds

I was banded on Oct 10th 2005 and everything went well. I had minor gas pain which was to be expected, then it went away after a week. Now I am 4 weeks out and the pain is back in my left shoulder. The pain gets so bad that it makes me bend over, grabbing my shoulder in tears. With the minor gas pains early in my post-op day it would come and go. This pain in my shoulder now just lingers and doesnt really go away. Does anyone else experiance this, and or have any suggestions on what I should do?

I am starting to believe that this is what it is, Referred Pain, which in turn concerns me. Why all of the sudden has it started is my question? Could I have possibley injured something? I have a heating pad on it now, and it seems to help take the edge off the pain. I am starting to believe that giving birth is alot less painful. I just want to thank you all for responding and trying to help me with my issue. I love this forum.

No, im not 100% sure. I am other wise very healthy other then being fat. I was 256 pre-op ( 4 weeks ago) and now I am 236. I havent had any other medical problems.I am just hoping I can bare with it until 11-10 when I go in for my first fill. I deal with alot of burping not matter what I eat or drink or how I do it, I always seem to have to burp. I have done the Gas-X doesnt seem to work for me.

My pain seems to be constant, the last 2-3 days it hasnt let up. Today was the first day that it made me feel sick. The pain just seems to linger and not really go away, it almost feels like a pinched nerve, sometimes the pain goes into my neck and down my left arm.
