shoulder pain



Recommended Posts

I had my second fill today. I am now up to 6.5cc's. Everything was fine but Dr. couldn't find the port in his office so I have many pin pricks in me right now. We went down to amblitory surgery and put me under a flo scope (don't know how to spell it) and there it was. This time I was laying down so it was much easier. It was fun watching the pictures, He first put me at 7cc's then had me drink some chalky stuff there was too much restriction so he took out some and it all went down just fine. I say it!!!!!!!!!

But for the reason I am posting tonight is>>>>Did anyone have shoulder pain after. I was fine then when driving home (3 hrs) It started. My left shoulder is hurting pertty bad. I have a Icey hot patch on now and have taken liquid tylenol. Anyone else have this??:paranoid

Very good loss, Terri. If you're losing, why did he do a fill?? Usually the criteria is if you ARE NOT losing.. hmm..

Shoulder pain after a fill is something I'm not sure I've ever experienced or heard of, but with that aggressive a fill, who knows? I'd certainly let him know if it doesn't subside pretty quickly.

I had NO restristion before the new fill. I was dieting like I have done soooo many times before. I know I can diet and lose weight but I can't seem to keep it up for long. The band it my new tool for this.

It would be to your advantage to know the brand and size of your band. Glad you got a fill. I hope it's working well for you now.

Sorry to hear all your pin pricks. Cannot add to the sholder pain I have never heard of that but be sure to call your Doc if the pain does not go away as Leatha says.

My shoulder is better today. Just a little twing every now and then. I am on a liquid diet for 2 days. It has been fine and I am not at all hungrey so I guess the fill worked. I am going to go easy when I can eat again. Maybe eat mushy stuff for a day or so.

Thank you so much for your support.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
