I am 6 wks post op, have NOT had a fill at all and I am having pain every-time I eat anything. I was to the point of being able to handle eating anything(small portions is all)and last week I started having this stuck feeling along with pain in my esophagus every-time I eat, I'm back to "mushies" just to be able to get something down and even with that I have some pain. Has anyone experienced this?

I'm 21 days post op and still have gas pains! They're are horrible, no doubt about that!! I was in so much pain last night, I was literally in tears, it felt like I was having labor pains all through my mid-back area and abdomen. I take gas-x and it helps very little!! I'm calling my Dr. today. I have read a few posts from banders that said they had it removed because they couldn't find any other relief.

I was banded the same day you were, and had the gas pains BAD!! I felt 9 mo. preg with the baby's feet lodged in my ribs...lol Have you tried drinking prune juice? I was sooo constipated and that is what was causing the terrible pain(in my case)! Once the prune juice kicked in it was such a relief. Good Luck!

I am 3wks post op and I'm also having the same thing with my back, its upper-mid left side and constant burning pain. I thought it was from using those back muscles more to comp. the abdominal area pain that I have. It hurts the most at work, being a hairdresser, I'm doing a lot of standing,bending etc....

I was told to continue the protein shakes along with the clear liquids, I was just advanced to mushies 2 days ago and to be honest, I still dont want to eat anything. I have to force down liquids and my protein shakes, I did have 1 scrambled egg for dinner one night and 1 packet of oatmeal for breakfast and couldn't even finish it. I constantly feel full! I told my nutritionist and told her I feel 9 months preg. with the babys feet lodged in my ribs. Anyone else feel this way?

All I can say is "CONGRATS" to those of you that were able to get back up on your feet and back to work!!! I"m jealous! I had my surgery on Tuesday, it's now Sunday and I still feel very sore, in fact yesterday was worse then the day I came home from hospital. I took off from work 9 days and I'm worried that I won't be able to handle it. I'm a hairdresser so I'm always on my feet. Just doing my own hair and make-up today was enough to wear me out. I also have had the worst gas pains, to the point I can't even walk and suggestions for this or constipation?
