I had mine 13 days ago and had very bad chest, shoulder and collar bone pain. I developed back pain a couple days later, which I attributed to the fact that I could only sleep on my back, which I was not used to. I do know that before I was fully sedated I know I was being strapped to the table and tilted a little, so I think you are put in a sort of traction device to give the surgeon maximum room to work inside you. I hope you feel better soon :)

Thanks for sharing with me... Pain reliever didn't help. Gonna try walking and see if maybe its gas.

Hopefully it will be gone in a few days....

Walking definately helped me. The more I walked, the better I felt. Good luck!

I hope your back pain gets better,,Its probably gas I hope. If not seek pain medications from your doctor.

I just got banded yesterday.. i was so excited until the numbness and anesthia were off.

The pain is as if i were hit by a bus. They give some serious pain medication at hospital which worked up to3-4hours then pain came back double... I was then released went home only to find the pain increasing. i took the prsecribe hydrocodone but really didnt help.

Today my whole body from neck, shoulders, arms, of course belly and some weakness in legs.

I feel like a gutted fish.

And havent slept been pacing all night.

Is this common....

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
