I have this also, but when I am hungry and when I eat. I am short and when they did an xray they saw the tubing touching my diaphragm. They said if necessary, the tubing could be shortened which should help the problem. I obviously am not too excited about another surgery but don't know if I can handle this discomfort forever. Also, I am not really getting what I imagined as fullness, but I do have to stop eating because of the shoulder pain.

Hello, I had my band placed 6/30. When I saw my doctor that week I told him I was uncomfortable and before I knew it he was taking fluid out of my band. So now I am starving. I only sleep 2 hours at a time at night (like a newborn!) because I have to constantly eat. Any suggestions? thanks so much
