Back problems after fill



Recommended Posts

I have basically reached my sweet spot. After the last two fills which were small , seems my back, shoulder, arm, and side have ached for days after the fills. I started out having my gallbladder tested, then appendicts and now I'm having back and nerve problems. Doctor suggested that it could be from the placement of the band. My last trip to the dr. was because of burning and tingling on the right side of my body. Has anyone had any of these symptoms since their band?

I have been having the same exact problems, I actually went to the doctor and she told me it was my gall bladder, they did a test and I had stones in my gall bladder, had it removed and the pain is still there!! My shoulder, back and arm hurt so bad sometimes it makes me want to cry and I don't have insurance so have not been able to go to the doctor to see what is wrong!! It def interferes with my life but I am thinking it might be expensive to fix!! I wrote my doctor in regards to some things and of course he has not responded and I have a feeling he won't!! He is in Mexico(Dr. Kuri) so I am sure I won't be hearing a thing, which upsets me cause he is the one that put it in!! If you find out anything I would appreciate it if you could let me know what they say!! I hope yours gets better soon, I have prayed about it and I know it will all work out in the end!! Take Care!!

I am going back to the lap band doctor today and tell them what the other drs. have suggested. I do have a pinched nerve in my neck but I know when I pinched my nerve. Like I said the pain started in my side first. Thanks for praying for me. I hope your issues are solved soon. I will let you know what I find out.

I experienced this for quite a while and at different times, after surgery, between fills, after fills. Always seems to come back to gas - but that may just be me. I too suffer from chronic back pain only aided by regular visits to chiropractor.:(

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
