I am in the same situation exactly! Banded Dec 14th too! Just recently, I developed an excruciating pain that filled my thoracic region, went up my neck, into my jaw and arm and even down into my leg. I did nothing but moan. Drugs didn't help me either. It was a build up of gas but it has been almost a week now and I STILL feel like someone has beaten me across the back with a bat.

So, please, let me know what your test results show. I have my first post-op visit next week. Thanks!

Wow Atl-Jen, someone who finally had the same problems as me... but I don't have a answer for you, every test they ran, blood, xray, cat scan - it all came back NORMAL. I'm convince it still has something to do w/ surgery but the doc didn't have a clue, says maybe it's sinus even though my sinus test came back normal too and I've never had sinus problems before. I'm thinking it's swelling pushing on a nerve or something... I've notice since my swelling as gone down the pain is not as bad so prayerfully it will go away completely once all my swelling is gone. I will keep you in pray Jen-Alt, I feel for you. Please talk to your doctor - weird 2 people having same thing happen both w/ lap band on same day at that!

Hey guys, It's been 2 week since I tried the cocktail. I'm doing well, on Friday I was scared because I start feeling a twitch of pain but after I took the Naproxen it went away. I still don't know what the issue was but I get my first fill next week and will find out why was I going through that pain.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
