No, not in that area. However I was told that due to the tubing (the line running from the port to the band) floating around in there it can hit nerves and things and cause odd sensations or pains. So it could be that putting Fluid through the tubing cause some irriatation to the nerve that the tubing is touching and that is causing pain.

Just a guess, but it never hurts to call the doctors and ask.

PLEASE call your doc...too tight and just gone done with that experience with back pain. It's too restricted and you may feel horrible and compromise your health and band. Message me if you want to talk I can give you my phone number. I suffered for a month. In denial I was.

I called the doctors office & the nurse say something about a nerve. After about a day & a half I feel fine.

Have another fill schedule for the 10th of January. Asking for a x-ray to make sure everything is going right.

Could it be the band restricted on the vagus nerve? I had an unfill with pinched feeling between shoulder blades and stomach hurting, belching, just too darn tight. I feel better now after six days with 1/4cc taken out for now.

      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.
