  3. Wow! No liquids, so you will eat soft foods?
  4. I had my surgery 14 years ago. About every 3-6 months I would get very bloated after eating and my mid left side would hurt. Hurt to breath. It would cause a referred pain in my left shoulder at the same time. now, 5-19-21, this has been happening everyday throughout the day. (Although I cannot tell if I’m bloated as I had Coolsculpt 8 months ago and have the rare side effect PAH. So I have a big brick of fat in the way.) For about the last 6 months. It’s gotten worse. Hard to breath, very painful . I’m developing new symptoms. I hiccup lightly quite often uncontrollably. If I bend over, I will burp a big swoosh of air that actually feels relieving, not like a belch. My drs have always tried to blame everything on my band but it’s always been fine. I am going to my Bariatrics dr tomorrow hopefully to get this situated. I’m going to ask if she thinks it’s my diaphragm, if I could have my port moved or shortened. I have never planned to get rid of my band. I have lost 75 lbs and am at a good weight
