Thanks - yes, I'll call the doc tomorrow. I was just hoping to hear it was pretty common! But I'll hope for the best and make that call tomorrow. Thank you,

Hi, everyone - I'm pretty new here and have a real concern. I was banded on 3/5 and have actually done pretty well in the past week (except for some shoulder/neck pain which is now subsiding a bit). However, in the past 2-3 days, my stomach as broken out with itchy red bumps - looks like hives or somethings. Has anyone else experienced this? I don't know if I have an allergy to the pain med or what.....help!

Oh, I'm so glad to hear your shoulder pain has now cleared up! I was so afraid this was going to be long lasting.....I haven't lost hardly any weight yet but hope that picks up and the shoulder/neck pain lessens over the next few days! Thanks for your quick response.

Hi, I was banded on 3/5 and my energy is okay (and has been since 2-3 days afterward), however, I continue to have severe shoulder/neck pain on a daily basis. Does anyone else have this? If so, does it ever end?? Mine comes and goes throughout the day but I can't take this much longer.....
