I only had noticeable pains for two days after surgery. Walking a lot helps! The heating pad helped me more than GasX but everyone is different. Some people have relief if their hold their arm up while sitting or laying down. Hang in there!!

Try to move around as much as you can tolerate. It is the gas used to fill your belly so they can see in surgery looking for someplace to go...

I had shoulder pain up to two weeks but only when I over did and I got tired. It was weird. It was like my body hit a wall and told me I needed to take it easy and get some rest.

I was banded on 09.06 and my shoulder still hurts. But, as Shelli stated, it appears to be okay until I overdo it and then it really starts killing me again.

      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.
