Post lap band I stated having serious back problems.. Come to find out I have several protrusions in my back. Go see your pcp.. Might need an MRI! Banded 7/5/2012Have 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 7/5/2012I 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! Banded 7/5/2012May I ask a few of his main requirements? Just curious Banded 7/5/2012So 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 7/5/2012Hmm.. Well the pain seems to move around. Please don't suggest it's gas, my doctor and I have ruled that out already. Banded 7/5/2012Hello, I am looking to join a support group in the North Houston area including spring, humble, the woodlands and Conroe. If you know of any please let me know! Banded 7/5/2012So 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 7/5/2012I've had a severe back pain mystery since after surgery.. Very interesting! I hope u feel better soon an find out what's going on! Banded 7/5/2012Not only tear something but you could risk getting an infection.. Banded 7/5/2012I 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 7/5/2012When 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 7/5/2012It'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
