I was banded on sept. 17,2007 in seattle, wa. by Dr. Ross McMahon at Swedish hospital. I have had alot of pain in left chest and extreme pain in left shoulder and underneath left collarbone. I supect it is gas, I have tried gas ex with some relief. But the biggest problem for me is getting down the Protein Drinks they all taste sooooo bad! any suggestions. I am currently drinking EAS from costco and I mix it with either 1%milk or crystal light.:):help:

Hi neighbor!

The ONLY thing that worked for me to get rid of the CO2 gas that they used to inflate my belly for surgery was WALKING, A LOT of WALKING!

The more I walked, the better I felt! I had that AWFUL shoulder pain too!

As far as Protein shakes, in my opinion, the best tasting is MATRIX 5.0, available at Super Suppliments in the Seattle area, ( Super supplements - Locations ) or BODY FORTRESS available at your friendly neighborhood WAL*MART.

      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.
