  1. Chiropractor helped me in just a few days after surgery. Really did help the neck and shoulder pain. Helped with my gas pressure too.
  2. Mine is on the upper left of my belly and I am in the US. Not sure why they would put it in a crease. I don't have any issues with mine.
  3. I have lost 75 since I first met my surgeon in December: I cut sugar and most carbs. I have lost 19 since my surgery 2 weeks ago. This uncomfortable pressure and such is the worst part for sure. I am feeling miserable again today. Walking doesn't seem to help. I don't remember reading anything about all of this pressure before the surgery.
  4. I had my lap band placed 2 weeks ago. Every time I get moving in a vehicle, I get nausea and referred pain in my back and shoulders. Is this normal? What can I do? I still cannot drive to work which is nearly an hour of driving. Any recommendations? Btw, I am still on the liquid only diet. Just started back on a watered down version of protein shakes a few days ago.
