I get that sharp pain in my upper back...just below my neck, right between my shoulders. It can REALLY hurt sometimes. I find it mainly happens when I eat too fast, or eat too much. I think it's pressure building up due to those types of things.

I had this problem for a little over a month. I finally called my surgeon about it, he was mad I waited to contact him. I had acid issues in my stomach. He had me try Prilosec OTC one a day. It worked! Fixed my problem. You might want to try that. I was in awful pain every time I ate and food was almost ALWAYS coming up. Hope this helps!

thanks for the help guys! I was taking Flintstones (which were recommended by the diatician at my surgeons office) but have found that lately I can't stand the taste of them. I have also recently had to go on Prilosec OTC due to acid in my stomach, no reflex... just horrible burning feeling every time I ate.

What Vitamin are you guys using? Just curious. Thanks! Amber

My experience hasn't been very good. I had to have surgery again in October due to my port flipping. I've lost about 20lbs haven't really changed clothing sizes maybe close to one size. I'm pretty dissapointed. I have nothing but problems with my band. I'm hoping to get it all figured out SOON! bummed

I had my 1 week post op check up yesterday. Everything looks good and I asked about the pain. I am told it could be from drinking or eating something too cold or eating too fast. I've been more catious and it seems to not be happening now. Thank goodness!

about how many calories a day does your bugg tell you that you are burning? Just want to make sure mine is working properly...it seems to be giving me pretty high calorie readouts??

I just started using the Lose It! app on my ipod touch. Does anyone else use it? If so, add me! my email I'm registered under is amberwoulfe@gmail.com

Thanks for the tip! I just added it on my ipod touch.. my username is ambernw26 add me!

Did your first fill hurt bad? Could you feel a big difference after being filled?

I just re-read my appointment book he gave me. It's a post-op visit...so maybe I won't be getting filled? I feel like I need it though. I started not getting full yesterday. I guess I will find out tomorrow when I get there if he will fill me or not...but it's sounding like no. How are all of you that are newly banded feeling?

I was banded a little over a week ago, 5/7/10, and when I eat I get this sharp pain inbetween my shoulder blades u by my neck. Any ideas on what is causing this? OMG it hurts realllllllyyyy bad! Thanks!

I'm 28 and have clear skin, but it seems that since my surgery this past friday (5/7/10) my face is breaking out! Has anyone else experienced this? Know of some really good facial cleaners that might clear it up quickly? Sorry! I know its an odd question.:smile2:

I was banded friday may 7th I'm getting my first fill monday may 17th. I'm very nervous! was anyone else filled this soon? Won't my port site still be sore? Just wondering...

I'm 4 days out and starting to feel the same...very hungry! I get my first fill monday though, so I know it will be better after that!

i'm starting to feel that "does this ever get better" too! I was banded yesterday and I feel absolutely horrible i can't sit up it hurts too bad... hopefully it gets better soon!

My surgery is at 7am tomorrow..and I'm starting to panic. Feeling really nervous!

Thanks for the reply. Sorry if that was offensive to anyone...its just something that's been on my mind

I am nervous about the naked thing too, but got over it. My mom helped me realize that these people see everything and its no big deal to them. Sorry if this offends anyone but my biggest concern is that I will possibly be on my period my surgery day...will them let me keep my underwear on?

I'm not getting the watch display either, I don't think I would ever wear it... I've been wearing mine all the time, except when I sleep. Someone mentioned not wearing it while driving, that doesn't really have an effect on the data does it?

I'm feeling horrible :biggrin: I cheated on my pre-op diet today...its only day 2 of the diet too ugh...

I'm wrapping up day 1 of my pre op diet as well. I found it to not be too bad! my tummy growled lots though! and i have a slight headache... i drank boost high Protein shakes, the chocolate ones aren't bad at all!

I just bought a body bugg and set it up tonight. I have a few questions about it... do you all wear yours 24/7? and sync it up daily?

has anyone found any protein shakes that actually taste good?

How exciting!!! Keep us posted! To me setting the surgery date was the best part ever!! It made this all seem real, like its REALLY going to happen! now the next 3 weeks are going to creeeepppp by sooooo slow!
