Since I had my surgery on 9/8, I have had pain in my upper left shoulder/chest area. I have had abdominal surgery before, and thought it was just gas that was trapped. Didn't worry too much about it. It has been a month and I still get this pain on a daily basis - sometimes really intense! Anyone else had this experience? Is it still gas and if so - WHY after a month!! Remedies?

Thanks Everyone!!!

and of course it is too late to call the doctor. I haven't had a soda since 9/3 - is it okay to have diet soda?

Thanks so much Rene!!!

How did you get your ticker to actually show up at the bottom? my just shows the link!?

That is so awesome. I can't wait to order it! I really hate it that you know and HAVE TO LOOK AT A BODY BUILDER - SOOOOOO SORRY!!! (TEE HEE)! Any other clues/hints, send them my way!

THANK YOU SO VERY, VERY MUCH!!!!

OH MY GRACIOUS!!!! Where do you find it?

I'm having a hell of a time not drinking when I eat, getting my protein shakes in and remembering my vitamins!!! Can anyone suggest any GOOD shakes or a liquid vitamin. Any suggestions for not drinking when I eat - I'm thristy!

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP MY WITH MY TICKLER...I can't seem to find where to enter it so it shows up1

I am 3 wks post surgery and am finding that I can eat more than I thought I would be able to and certainly more than I could the 1st 2 weeks after surgery. Is this normal? Is it time for a fill? I lost 16 lbs from the liquid through the 2nd week of surgery and have not lost anything this last week - is that normal?

Thank so much for your reply - I will have to try that!

Can someone please tell me the BEST tasting protein out there. I am having hard time finding one that I can stand!

and would LOVE to have a tickler to track my progress also!

Would love to keep in touch and keep inspired by you guys/gals!!

I am brand new to this. I live in the D/FW area and am looking for a GOOD, REPUTABLE, EXPERIENCED doctor that will take some kind of payment plan if your insurance does not cover. What is the total cost (for those who have been through it) and anyone having any suggestions about how to fight with your insurance company to get it covered would certainly help. I am a 44 year old female, 5'9" and weigh about 240. I think my BMI is 37.8. ANY HELP OR SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE GREATLY, GREATLY APPRECIATED!
