Everyone is different. This is something that is a total mistery to me because I have had my band 1yr 1/2 and I am still dealing with left shoulder pain. I have been to my regular doctor about it many times and they took x rays and it hurts really bad at times like someone is sticking a needle in my shoulder. I never had this pain before my band and the only thing they can figure out is it is a re routed type sensation connected to the placement of my band. It hurts when I try to eat and it gets stuck then it starts to ache really something bad. It went away after the surgery for awhile but I still have it sometimes on a daily basis. It is the only side effect that has been really uncomfterable since my band placement. I love the weight loss and the band as a tool but I DO NOT like having this pain in my left shoulder. You should feel relief after a few weeks of surgery. But I can't tell you if it will completely go away. I ask others all the time about the pain and some do not have it at all and others have a little. I don't know why I get it a lot. I usually pop an advil or stronger if needed. I still love my band and hope the pain will subside with time................time will tell!

      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.
