Hi KAYMAC32,

I had surgery with Dr. Bagnato on August 19th, 2011. To answer your question regarding back/shoulder pain. Yes, I had the shoulder pain too but not the back pain. I was constanly asking my family to massage my left shoulder. I am 2 weeks out from surgery and it has now gone away. I hope that you get to feeling better soon! :)

I am 6 days post-surgery and have had lots of shoulder pain (really more of an ache) but not back pain. They told me it was related to gas and taking Gas-X has helped in my case. Had lots of gas issues but have almost all gone away.

Watch the dehydration! Hang in there.

the pain is coming from the gas the inserted in your stomach during surgery. It goes away soon. Walking can help to discipate the gas. Also you can take Gas X if you need to.

I have back pain too, right between my shoulder blades. I think it's gas; seems like at times I have quite a bit of burping/belching too. I don't have as much discomfort as I did right after surgery though. What you are describing is normal.

Congrats on getting the band!

      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.
