    I am two weeks out from my surgery and am on a pureed diet. I am eating pureed foods and feel as though they are getting stuck in my esophagus...I hate my hiatal hernia repaired during the lapband surgery so I don't understand this feeling??

  7. Ignore those people because what you are doing is going to good for you not for them...I have only had a negative response from a few people, two women at my vet's office who were bigger than me and my so called friend who is heavy and she is so jealous!!! Good Luck you will do great and tell who you want...Celebrate this major decision and great life change!!

    Feeling the Band??

    I had my surgery on 10/19/09 and it is now 11/1/09. I am recovering great. However, I think I can feel the band, especially when I sneeze or take a deep breath like when I yawn...is anyone else experiencing this? did the band slip?

    Terrible Pain in Left Shoulder/Heart Area

    I had surgery almost two weeks ago and that pain in your shoulder is the CO2 that pump you up with when they do the surgery. It runs along you veins all through your body and rises up to the shoulder. I had horrible pain for days in my shoulder. It subsided after about a week. Do not take aspirin, it is a blood thinner and can upset your stomach. You should call your doctor and request pain meds. I got sent home with Dilaudid and it worked wonders. good luck!!
