muscleband 0 Posted July 24, 2008 Hi, everyone, and congrats to all who are successfully losing weight! It can be done -- I know, cause I'm an old veteran with 140 lb loss that I kept off 10 years. An accident entrapped it, and I had to have it replaced. But I have an unusual problem: my new band is around my stomach muscles, due to adhesions from my old band making it impossible to use the regular site. This band seemsd to work backwards: with the most recent filll, it began to cause pain in the shoulder and a choking sensation on the first few bites -- but after that, it just gets better and better! After a few bites, there's no pain or restriction! Has anybody experienced this? Does anybody know howl to get around it? Thanks and good luck to all!

HeatherO 7 Posted July 24, 2008 This is the first time I have heard of this situation. I would be interested to find out if this is common. What did your doctor say? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brandy~ 2 Posted July 24, 2008 Wow sorry I haven't heard of this. However it really sounds like maybe the placement or maybe the tubing is hitting a nerve sending the pain to the shoulder? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
