How soon does the soreness go away?

I've had no problems with pills -- the hydrocodone I've been cutting in half and taking one piece after another, but in the hospital I was given it in pill form and the doctor gave no instructions that it be crushed or cut...

I was banded on 4/12 & thought all was goin really good. I hadn't exprericenced the bad pain I read about that hits the left shoulder & neck.

I was all ready to go back to work on Monday, when all of a sudden Sunday evening I got a pain that wouldn't stop. It hurt my shoulder, neck & my back too. Kept me up most of the night. So I called in one more day to rest some more. ( & try to expell more gas)--privately.

Luckily many people I work with have WLS & understand.

Txbecca....how did you like Dr. Spiegel. I go Saturday to the seminar. I am getting this done whether it is insurance covered or not. And where do you guys get the BMI graphic at the bottom? I am 55, 5'3", 220 (for twelve years but overweight ALL my life) and I have HAD it.
