Hi everyone, How is everyone doing with pain...going bck to work... and eating? I was banded on 05/08/08 went for my 1 wk check up on Tuesday kinda early because I am thinking abt going back to work on Thursday. He said it was up to me and I am feeling pretty good. I have lost about 16 lbs since this has started in March...I was one of the lucky ones that did not have to wait for a long time to get approved. The only complaint I have is that when I hiccup it hurts like @&*! Has anyone experienced this pain? My doctor said it will go away...I have been kinda hungry trying to keep with the liquid and Soups but I am struggling as my stomach grouls... Would love to hear from you all!!! Michele :thumbup:

wayoflife replied to 2BtinyinTN's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi, I was banded on 05/08 and I have pain in my chest area when I eat...I also have pain, terrible pain when I hiccup it will thump abt 4 or 5 times like a spasm then go away it also feels like my whole insides are being rearranged. I asked my doctor and he kinda looked at me strange and asked if it was heart burn I told him No! His reply is that it will go away in time I sure hope he is right.... -

Hi everyone, I was banded on 05/08 and doing pretty good. How is everyone doing with the pain....eating...going back to work. I had my 1 wk check up Tuesday kinda early cause I am thinking abt going ahead and go bck to work. I have lost abt 16 lbs that is pre surgery until now. Doctor seems to think I am doing great the only complaint I really have is I have lots of pressure in my chest area it hurts like #?*! when I hiccup..anyone experiencing this pain???! I was one of the lucky ones that did not have to wait for ever on an approval ...I started the process in March and had the surgery in May...Although my thought process was much much longer I had been thinking abt the bypass for the last 4 years or better. I hope everyone is doing Great!!! :thumbup: -

Talked to dr. office yesterday and the only thing they said was i could try protein shake or v8 to see if i ccan tolerate it. I am having some pain in my throat and heaviness in my chest I hope that is normal... Keep me updated on your progress and Good Luck to you!
