Something wrong with Band???

Hi All :tongue_smilie: More advice needed PLEASE<3

So the other day one of the girls on here told me to STOP EATING foods && stick to the mushies or else I could really hurt myself with the band...Well ever since I feel like So paranoid lol.

I ate some medium rare steak last night bc my doc said to stick with PROTEIN...Yikes and then this morning I had a bite of this chicken && IT WAS SPICY and ever since I cant eat ANYTHING without my left shoulder having this PIERCING pain... I havent eaten all day I just dont feel like it...Also even when I drink my water the PAIN in my left shoulder is sooo bad it makes my body tingle...

Can someone help explain to me whats going on && How do I know if maybe somehow I might have damaged the band:blush: Or am I just having a reaction bc the chicken was fried && SPICY:cursing:

Thank you xoxo

I would definitely ask the dr. about the pain. If you've done anything to your band, you'd know it. :tt1: Don't worry about the spices. No one said we had to eat bland chicken.

Yeah you should contact your doctor. My doctor said the reason I had pain in my left shoulder after surgery was because the body isn't used to pain where the band and port are placed. The body mixes up the signals and it comes into the brain as shoulder pain. Crazy huh? It's always better to check just in case. He can let you know what to do or reassure you its nothing. :tt1:
