Any heard of pain in neck/shoulders area?



Recommended Posts

I'm not talking about the usual left shoulder pain. This is more in the back of the neck and across shoulders. A recent bandster asked me about it. Any ideas??

That can still be gas pains, even it it's long after surgery! Gas can put pressure on nerves and then it's OUCH time. Moving around and heat over the painful area is still probably the best reaction.

Hi:

I had pain across my shoulders with sharper pain on right side about nine months after banding. Turns out it was my gallbladder. Got it removed and pain was gone.

When I was first adjusting my band I was getting filled too quickly with large fills. I kept getting adjusted too tight. During this time I had extreme neck and shoulder pain. This would occur especially when I ate or drank anything. Once they relieved the tightness it went away. I eventually had to get slower fills after three complete unfills. Doc finally figured out normal fills don't work for me.:)

      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...

        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.
