Hi Sunflower! You must be so proud and congratulations being free of any oxygen apparatus. You are an inspiration to us all. I wonder if working with a physical therapist as per surgeon's permission might work out the residual back issues? You are certainly standing here strong and lean. And, hopefully, enjoying a few dinner dates with hubby. ;]

Hi, I am new to the sleeve group and 5 weeks post surgery. I feel honored and privileged to learn more about the bariatric pal community and the courage, resolve and authenticity you regularly share. While very much a rookie in all this... I do hope, I too, can be of value and an encouragement to others.

Question: I continue to experience an odd sensation upon my shoulders, especially when preparing meals, walking any distance or i.e. wrapping a present yesterday on the kitchen island. It feels like a ton of pressure weighing down on my entire body. I did have tremendous pain in the left shoulder from the drainage tube days after surgery. It was not gas. I never had any shoulder or back issues previous to surgery. Any thoughts on this?
