I am going in at 430 today to find out. Sent from my SM-G930T using the BariatricPal App

I guess I should clarify, by shoulder, I mean my shoulder blade (scapula) close to my spine. Any experience with this?

Hey everyone, I was sleeved on 2/10/2016 and am down 54 pounds since them, and another 36 pounds before that for a total of 90 pounds down since 10/1/2015. Before I got into the options program at Kaiser, I never had any shoulder problems, however now that I have dropped so much weight so rapidly, my left shoulder blade (some times my right too, but not nearly as bad or as often) has been killing me all the time. this started before surgery and has been getting worse ever since. I know that this sometimes happens with rapid weight loss as your body is trying to account for this new weight distribution, but this really sucks. Have any of you had this intense shoulder pain after you started loosing weight? What did you do that helped? Any input is welcome. **note: I have not previously injured my shoulder, and there were no traumatic events that occurred around the time this started.

Okay, sorry I haven't posted. I haven't been on as of late. Surgery was on 2/10/2016. It went great and I am back to work as of 5 weeks ago. My company has a great short term disability program so I was able to take 4 weeks off with no problem. I am eating around 800-1000 calories a day and have been feeling great. I go on walks with some of the girls from the options class on Thursdays and go to the gym with a friend of mine other days of the week. How are all of you doing? HW 266.42 (10/1/2015) SW 230.12 (2/10/2016) CW 197.8 (Yay! I am in ONEderland!

Omg, right?!?! I am usually a side or stomach sleeper, but i just cant do it yet. Until that main incision pain goes away. Just the pulling on it is too much even with the compression bandage and the pillow support.

I also joined the losers bench on 2/10/2016. How is your recovery going? The burps sucked yesterday, not so bad today. Hoping my pain level is even lower tomorrow. Most of my pain is in the incisions on the right where to extracted the remnant. How about you?

Of course! Will do!

2/10/2016!!! They had a cancellation!!! And i found out that dr kim will be assisting! So we kinda have the same doctor!

I finally got my date too!!! They called this morning and said they had a cancellation for 2/10/2016!!! So close!!!

Still waiting on the call from the scheduers.

I had my consult yesterday! Woooot! One step closer! And i found out i will only have to do a 1 day liquid diet for pre op yay!!!

Yay!!! Please keep me posted! I am right behind you! How long did you wait from your consult to your pre op date?

Hey that is one more reassurance than i had before. Thanks

I have my consult on the 1st and then the schedulers will call within 2 weeks to pick a date. I am going to see if i can get the schedulers phone number though and just call ahead so i can start planning. Hopefully will be end of february or early march.
