  1. Hello everyone! Was banded yesterday. Today I have pain in my right shoulder and my stomach feels like it got kicked with a steel-toed boot' date=' even after I take my rx pain meds. Had a hard time sleeping last night due to all the discomfort. Also having a hard time eating or drinking anything cuz I'm so sore. I'm pretty thirsty though, just scared to drink too much and then feel worse.[/quote']

    You will feel better by the third day make sure you drink your liquids


  2. I got my surgery on July 15 2013 And I've been having that sharp pain on my Left lower rib As well But just on my lower rib Very sharp indeed It's not an all-day And at the same time I can hear my My insides Crying But I notice when I drink something It goes away. I'm kind of freaking out on it too Because I'm scared That my band will slip:(


  3. Hi I to just had surgery as my band slipped. The worse thing is mine was a rare slip only 2-4 percent this happens to and I was the lucky one. It's a back ward slip or something like that. I had it replaced on Monday so I am a week post op tomorrow and still in the world of hurt. But thankfully I have very Good pain relief. Hope all goes well and good luck <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

  4. And the Protein shakes seem to be a uniquely US thing. Australian doctors generally say once you're healed' date=' no drinking your calories! <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':P' />[/quote']

    I got my surgery in Mexico and they didn't say anything about Protein Shakes but my cousin got her surgery in the US and said that Protein shakes are okay? So is it okay to drink protein shakes right now I just got my surgery on 15 July?
