  1. Hey all! I was banded on June 25, 2008 and have done very well. I have had two fills. The first one offered very little restriction and the 2nd one made a difference but I was still doing well. Well, about 2 weeks ago I started throwing up more and more. Now my chest constantly hurts (my back too!) and I can only drink some liquids in the late evening. Do you think my band could have slipped? I am seeing the Doc tomorrow. I am afraid of getting fluid out because I have been losing so well, but I don't want to be miserable either. Has this ever happened to anyone else? Thanks for your help!:rolleyes2:
  2. Hey all! I had my surgery on June 25th and I am doing well. The only problem I have now is pain in my left shoulder. I think it may be the gas still but since I'm 8 days out I'm beginning to worry. Any words of advice? If it continues to hurt like this, I'm going to put a call back into the Dr.
  3. Hey all, I was banded on Wed. June 25th. I think that I am doing pretty well overall. I have very little energy and I am hungry!! I also wanted to know if anyone had difficulty with as my granny lovingly referred to them "the back door trots" right after banding. I am worried about becoming dehydrated because I can't stay out of the bathroom! Thanks for your help!:confused2:
