Hello Everyone!

I was banded on October 13, 2008 but just found this website today. I had some questions I needed answers to and found them on this website. What a great place! My problem is that they have yet to find my "sweet spot". I am going in for my fourth fill next week. Hopefully it will be a success. I have only lost 20 lbs so far with 65 more to go. I know I will do it. :rose:

hello I was banded on the 12th or last Thursday and My biggest problem is severe shoulder pain..My doctor says this is from the diapham being irritated. Have any of you had this? What helped? How long did it last?

Yes I also had the pain in my shoulder. I had always been told the anesthesia settles in those areas and it is just a matter of time before it goes away. My doctor also said it was something else. But eventually it did go away. Just give it time.
