I am one of the unfortunate ones to still have shoulder pains after a month of the surgery. What REALLY helps me is to lie on my LEFT side. Try it! Good luck.

OMG, I am full of those "stupid" thoughts. I am always in a inner war, one side that is always hungry and won't rest until full, the other that feels shameful and embarrased for eating and not having control. It seems like I never have a balance without the restriction. THanks for the tread.

I paid $17K to a doctor in California. OUCH. I sure hope this works.

Hi all, I was banded 1/11/08 and got my first fill today. I have a 10cc band and he put 4cc-s in today. I was able to eat a little afterwards, but I haven't felt hungry for the past few hours. But it's encouraging to know that it is NOT our fault for not feeling restriction. I guess guilt has been engraved in our brains and we gotta erradicate that.

Please don't feel bad. We are who we are. I truly compare our food cravings/addiction to alcohol addiction. It's tough to be good all the time. Our brains are wired for old habits b/c it makes us feel gooooood.
