  1. I had my gallbladder taken out a couple of months after adding the lap-band. The first back doctor did a cortizone shot between the shoulder blades. It made things much worse. he had no idea what it could be. I did have some issues with my ribs from an earlier injury. The second chiropractor feels that the surgery to that area stirred up the pain. I am on my fourth opinion now and getting nowhere fast. Anyone heard of the Egosque method? Egoscue Inc. BE PAIN FREE Thanks, AlisaM
  2. I have seen 2 different chiropractors and 2 back doctors. I have had an Xray, MRI and scan. I have done a full series of physical therapy as well. I see the chiropractors massage therapist every week. she is the one that told me about the scarring from the lap-band around to the T-6. The X-ray and MRI did not show anything. i have not gotten the results from the scan yet. Thanks for your help.
  3. how do i find the link to your previous posts? I did have an un-fill for 6 weeks a year ago and was pain free except for the weekend before the refill.
  4. I had surgery august 2007. i have lost 70 pounds with the band and a lot of exercise. 6 months after surgery, i noticed that my back hurt every afternoon. i put up with it for a year then started working on fixing it in 2009. after much ado, they think it is the lap band surgery that caused scarring that goes directly to the T-4 thru 6. has anyone else had this issue? any suggestions or solutions?
  5. Mick, I can't find the field to join your support group. I live in Marietta and would love to attend. Tucker would be tough though. Let me know where/when. Thanks, Alisa
