hi everyone~my first post here. That said, I was banded this past Thursday, May 12th. Felt fine in the hospital. Felt fine yesterday, but slept a lot.

Today I feel like I was hit by a truck. Sore all over...but most painful is neck pain on the left side of my neck down into my shoulder. Is this the shoulder gas pain

I have read about? OMG, it's like the worst crick in my neck ever...it's killing me! I have been walking, spacing my liquids and mushie food. I don't have a heating pad.

What else can I do? how long does it last? I have a high tolerance for pain, but this really hurts!

Someone here said to fill an athletic sock with uncooked

Rice and put it in the microwave to heat. It's like a heating pad and it stays warm a long time. Best wishes!

you took the word right out of my mouth I was also banded on May 12th and woke up with the worst neck pain all OVER seriously it almost competes with the amount of gas that I am suffering.. I have no shoulder pain just the neck and gas :( sucks cause once I think it is letting up it comes right back

I just had surgery May 10th to reposition my port because it flipped :( It wasn't all that horrible it was the same procedure as the actual banding but only dealing with the port. And my neck was extremely SORE & STIFF for like 3 days!! It was probably from the breathing tube they put down your throat that's really all I can think of...well I hope u feel better soon!!

I had the same pain it was the day after my surgery. I felt like my surgeon threw me around the operating room, it was so bad the morphine wasn't even helping. I just slept it off and I felt much better the next day!

Hope you're feeling better. My surgery was May 11 and I had that pain really bad the first two days and it seems to just be towards my collar bone now. But it's really easing up.. I was told from the doctors office that its normal and from the gas from the surgery. Heat and walking around was all that seemed to help me.

Hi:

A very hot shower may help with this pain. As hot as you can stand it and have the Water hit your left shoulder. Worked for me.

Best wishes to you to be rid of the pain.

      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.
