Thank you for your responses. It is good to know at least I am not the only one.

Hi everyone! I was banded 10-6-11 & have about 4.6 in a 10cc. Every sense my last fill 2 months ago I have been having intense (1 to 2 hr long) left shoulder pain. It is very painful. At first it seemed to happen if something were stuck or maybe I ate to much but now it just seems to happen all the time. The only relief I can find is basically laying on that shoulder for an extended amount of time. The pain will go away but as soon as I get up it is back full force. I have been really tight from this last fill & have only gone down 4 lbs. I can't eat before 1pm or my food just slime's back up...so can someone please help me out with some well needed advice.

I have a lot of discomfort from my port. At my last fill my Dr. said it has turned on its side but I was still able to get a fill.

I got my first fill yesterday. The fill itself was not very painful but uncomfortable. My Dr. said the first one is the worst & from now on it will be a breeze. Before my fill I could eat anything at about half the volume I did pre-surgery. Yesterday after the fill I had a hard time getting Soup down. I am super tight. It it doesn't relax by Wed I am going to have some taken out. I had 1cc from surgery & the Dr. put in 2cc yesterday so I have a total of 3cc in a 10cc band. I really want to get this weight off so if I can bear through this I will. Good luck & prayers for everyone!

Good morning all, I am feeling great. I met with my Dr.last Friday & she said I can get my 1st fill next week. She will do 2 to 3cc fill on Friday & it will be 3 weeks post op for me. I am super excited. At this time I am hungry & can eat normal. I am looking forward to some restriction.

I was banded on the 6th also. I went up 6 lbs after surgery which I am looking forward to falling back off. It sounds like you are doing well with your healing & that is great. It is an emotional experience for me also but we are on our way now, hang on for the ride!

I am on day 4 of post op & am doing well. Still really sore but I feel more like myself today. How is everyone else doing?

I quit smoking with an e-cig. I was a 2 pack a day smoker for 16yrs. Check out the forum http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/ I use this:https://www.cignot.com/product_p/kit-ebt-all.htm

Well tomorrow is my big day! I am self pay through Care Credit & today I got my first bill today. I think it's funny to send off my first payment when I haven't had the surgery yet...but it is in the mail now. I hope everyone scheduled for tomorrow does exceptionally well. Prayers for all.

Good Luck! You are probably done now so I will send up prayers for a fast recovery.

Good Morning, It is the start of a big week for a lot of us. I go to my pre-op appointment today. Thursday is my big day & I am excited...and nevus too. Like the above posters I have a mixture of emotions running through my head but I know I am doing the right thing. Good luck this week everyone!

I pray your smile returns soon.

Good Morning All, How is everyone doing with the pre-op diets this week? I have been struggling alot but the hunger does go away after a while. I feel like a crazy person sometimes when I can't stop thinking about food. I am very much looking forward to this time next week when I wake up Banded! Prayers for you all, Lisa
