  1. So many people, even with problems, say they love their band.
     
    I have a very experienced lapband surgeon. He can not guess why I am having periodic pain. Chest pain (diaphragm) and left shoulder pain. Nothing on upper endoscopy.
    Tried double-strength Gas-X up to 8 times per day.
    I can have pain when hungry (great help there), after drinking (also not helpful), an hour after eating - etc. etc.
    He is guessing tube might be rubbing my diaphragm? Maybe I had a small liver & it does not protect/prevent this?
     
    Surgeon is looking at having to remove my band.
     
    Not happy.
