I am almost 5 weeks post-op. Had the same problem, but around a week ago it just stopped. No signs of shoulder pain. I think you stomach is still healing and when it feels better, it handles gas better and your back to normal. I haven't had any problems since I got use to eating regular food again. You probably just need a little more healing. 8- )

Megan - Thanks for all of the information! I really appreciate it!

I got an approval letter from my insurance company last Saturday. The only clearance that I need was a mental health evaluation and was told before I left the office that the doctor didn't see any reason that I could have the surgery. Her report is suppose to arrive at Barix on Tuesday so I am hoping that next week I will get a call from Barix to setup my pretesting for surgery. Dr Boe will be my surgeon and I thought he was great!!!

I have a consultation and Barix Clinic in Langhorne, PA on Thursday. I have thought about Lap-Band surgery for some time now and I am ready! I would like some feed back on the consultation and what it is like if anyone has any stories to share. Thanks and I am glad to be here!
