Have been banded since 7/5/12.. Everyday since then, when I wake up early I suffer extreme nausea.. Pregnancy has been ruled out. So anyway, I guess I'm just wondering if any one else suffers early morning nausea.. Banded 7/5/2012

I had pretty bad gas pains after surgery too! It's pretty common and normal.. Try to Move around as much as you can.. That's your best best to get relief.. And keep taking the gas x.. Try switching up the times you take it. When I was first banded, I Found that if I ate too much I would feel a pain in my chest that would run to my arm.. Pretty bizarre! Good luck to you!

I was banded a few weeks ago and am going through a lot with my back. A ct scan revealed a protrusion in my back, but that location and where my pain is dont match up. Banded 7/5/2012

May I ask a few of his main requirements? Just curious Banded 7/5/2012

So as I sit here and think about it, I am not as educated on the lapband as I had imagined. What is an averge period of time for "routine " fills.. Are they routine? I've assumed that they vary by person but average about once a month? Why not sooner? Please let me know how often (or not) you go for a fill. Banded 7/5/2012

Hmm.. Well the pain seems to move around. Please don't suggest it's gas, my doctor and I have ruled that out already. Banded 7/5/2012

So I've been having severe pain in my back.. First it started out in my lower back, then eventually moved to my shoulder/neck area. It's currently behind my bra strap area.. My doctor sent me for a ultrasound of my gall bladder and a CT scan of my abdomen (for back pain, odd! I know) anyway I have an appt tomorrow to discuss whatever my results are with my doctor. A nurse at the imaging center said gall bladder stones are common with weight loss surgeries.. My question is, did any of you have gall bladder issues post op? Banded 7/5/2012

I was told no bath for two weeks. Shower only! No swimming in my pool for 4 weeks, and no public swimming for 6 weeks. Banded 7/5/2012

When I went to the doctor, he sent me for a cat scan of my back and shoulder and when u called the MRI place to schedule an appointment and they thought that was so odd that he would order that for back pains.. They suggested I give him a call to make sure.. His office is on lunch, will call in a little while. I feel so confused. Banded 7/5/2012

It's definitely not gas. I've been walking and walking and all I drink is Water, it's one of those "I know my body, and something is not right" kind of feelings as well.. Im going to see my surgeon about the pains I've been having today.. Banded 7/5/2012

Im finding that the scale isn't moving but my clothes are starting to losen up Anyone else experiencing this? Banded 7/5/2012

Had my surgery almost two weeks ago and have had problems with my back since day one. My surgeon said to put a heating pad on it, well a heating pad and tylenol are not helping me at all.. I've also had a strange sharp stabbing pain run from my chest to my left arm/shoulder.. Very very painful. Didn't have either issues pre op. it was suggested to me to take a short term disability leave for these issues. After thinking long and hard about it I think I'm going to try. The pain makes it very difficult to concentrate at work. I'm going to talk to my surgeon about this today. The pain is not a silly "oh I slept wrong in the bed" kind of pain, I'd describe it at severe. Have any of you experienced these kinds of pains post op that were not present pre op? Opinions welcome Banded 7/5/2012

I really wish I could bring myself to try tuna.. I don't like any type of fish.. I just can't get past the smell maybe one day... Banded 7/5/2012
