I was banded on 8/31 as well. Still have gas pain in my shoulder and back. Was finally able to sleep in my bed somewhat normal without sitting up lastinight. Feeling better every day. Funny thing is i dont feel hungry AT ALL. I have stuck to the protein drinks, broth, jello, water..etc...My biggest problem right now (besides the shoulder pain) is constipation. Have not gone # 2 since before surgery :/

Hi all, I was just banded on 8/31 as well.. The gas pains in my shoulder are very uncomfortable!, but has gotten a bit better each day. I didnt expect to feel so much pain in the shoulder,but im reading it is normal, so im not too worried, just trying to walk as much as possible, and taking tylenol w/ codeine. Congrtas to all the new banders, and good luck!
