I have had my Lap Band for almost 3 years now. For the past two weeks i have been having terrible pain where the band is - kind of a dull ache that radiates into my back. Sometimes it causes me to get nauseous or light headed. I had an upper GI a few days ago but the DR didnt see anything.She emptied my band just in case, and to see if that would help. If anything, the pain has gotten worse!! I am scheduled for an endoscopy next week. Has anyone had similar symptoms??

For the ladies I have a question... Has anyone had any menstrual problems since surgery? I am over a week late and didn't know if that was normal??

Hi everyone. I was banded successfuly on Monday the 21st. Everything was fine in the hospital, but once I got home yesterday afternoon I had terriible pain in my right side. I am trying to decide if it is gas pain or just general surgery pain. Other than that minor tweak, all thigs are going well. As some others said, I am generally not very hungry to begin with, so most of my intake has been water, with a little jello here and there. I am allowed to finally take a shower and eat cream soup tomorrow, and I cant watit! I hope to hear what others think about the pain issue....definitely stinks!

Hi everyone! I hope you are all doing well pre- and post-op! I only have to be on a clear liquid diet the day before my surgery (the 21st), which it seems after reading everyones posts, isnt too common. Does anyone have any recommendations for protein shake mixes? Im on the market haha!

Hi everyone! For those of you that have had surgery already, I hope all stays well for you. I was wondering what exactly the DR talks about during a pre-op appointment. I have mine on Wednesday and I am just curious as to what to expect!!

Hi, everyone! I am new to the site, and saw this group. I have just scheduled my surgery for Dec 21 and am really excited about it! It will be nice to hear from all of you
