How do you know it is a nerve? My 6 week follow up is in 2 days and I would love to tell my surgeon about that nerve. Thanks

My left shoulder still hurts today.I'm starting to think it could be a nerve or something.I still have gas after two and a half days of eating mainly yogurt and isopure protein drinks.Nothing sounds good to eat,and I sure don't want to make this any worse.Anybody know what gall bladder pain feels like?the pain is on my left side, Thanks for any input,I almost feel like I'm whining,but really I just want to figure this out.:confused_smile:

I was at the last support group and Robin(Dr Tersignis' coordinator)let our group know that they just received the award of Center of Excellence. I am very happy with Dr. Tersigni and his awesome crew. I have already lost 49 lbs and my surgery was 5/30/2008,today is 7/13/2008.:smile2:

Thank You Gwenn, These last 6 weeks have been very interesting.I'm 6'5"and weighed 361.5 lbs. pre-op,surgery day I weighed 357 lbs. 5/29/2008,today I weighed 312.5 lbs. I haven't had a fill and if I continue like this,I don't think I'll get one. Anyway it sounds like you are doing great! Have a great time in NY. Good Luck, Joel banded 5/30 Dr.Tersigni,Coos Bay OR

hi, I was banded on May 29 2008,and I have lost an amazing 49 lbs.Today is july 13.

I'm 6 weeks out and thought the shoulder pain was finally gone,until yesterday,my wife and I went 4-wheeling in the sand dunes,and after we were coming home I got the worst case of pain that I can remember. Heating pads, icy hot, tylenol, gas-x,etc. I couldn't seem to make it go away.It still hurts today but seems to be getting better.
