jjsband

indiangirl...I was only banded two weeks ago and despite incredible shoulder pains...which disappeared a couple of days ago...I wouldn't go back. You will get through it with a little more time. I have taken a couple of large sips or a bite of something and experienced similar pains in my chest but recognize that it takes time to learn how to use the band correctly. I'm down 10 lbs already and even enjoyed a little (very little) turkey dinner with friends and family this weekend. Good luck...
