:help:Trying to learn how this site works, just joined today. I was banded on 12/29/2007. Anyone that has been banded did you feel like there was a rock in your stomach? Or maybe just feel the band? Any back or chest pain? Thanks for the advise.

Hi--I was on the 28th so just one day ahead of you. I've had the chest pressure and back aches--in my case, it has been gas and bloating--you could see and feel the tightness in my upper abdomen. I put ice packs(in a gallon ziplock) on my stomach and heating pad on my back. Combined with the walking and the mild pain med I'm good--getting better each day

I feel the chest pain as well. It kinda feels like I have to burp and I can't. I still feel hungry though. I'm eager to get a fill. Do you feel full after broth and liquids? I can't say I've got the full feeling...I'm just not hungry.

I'm on any liquids--I just had creme of chicken soup-just strain out the bits of chicken--pudding, yogurt,jello,juice etc. for 1 week. the juice i mixed half/half water--and just sip on it. the about 4-oz bowl of Soup takes about 15 minutes--same with the pudding cup/jello/yogurt. This week vanilla yogurt--because others have "stuff" in them. The only gas med I've take in the gasx--and not even as much of that as I thought.--the ice/heat (and to be crude-releasing it) helps the most for me.

That is the way I feel I need to burp but can't and that is so frustrating. I have to say I feel better today than yesterday. I am not hungry at all I drink broth about every 2 to 3 hours and sips of Water in between so far. After I do that I fill so so so full.
