Thank you so much... I went out this morning and bought them. I'm going for a walk today when my husband comes home. I wish there was a phamplet with all this advice... maybe someone should write a book.... So You've Had Lap Band!

Thanks! I think the Gax-X is helping. Seeing what others are doing is a big help. I'm getting so much information in here!

Hi Everyone! After I had surgery in Dec of 2005 I had shoulder pain in my left shoulder. My doctor gave me a cortisone shot after having it for over a month and that took care of the pain. However, I was having problems with my legs from Aug-Dec of 2006 and had to pull myself up the stairs at work with my arms. I developed severe bursitus in my right shoulder which I still have! Lately, I have been having slight burning sensation on my right side where the band is. I thought maybe that is gas and use gas-x however, it goes away for a little bit but still comes back. I am having a D&C on June 25th and will be seeing my doctor on June 20th for an unfill. Do you think I should see him sooner? Not sure what to do. Thanks for listening!
