I get pain in my shoulder after eating some times the past few weeks have been bad. Not much helps it, there is a nerve that goes from the stomach to some part of the shoulder not sure of the name right now. It hurts that's for sure!!!

I had several surgeris since band. No fluid was removed but I would not get a fill before or 2-3 weeks after due to swelling

Have been getting left shoulder pain after eating all week. I have had this in the past but do not remember it hurting this bad. Only thing that helps is my TENNS unit. I am 2.5 years out from surgery

2 years out 100 pounds gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

250 out of pocket. It hurts!

I had the same issue but it happened during the day and I was able to get into my dr. I also had reflux so bad that for the first few weeks my eating was limited. I did gain a few pounds but did not worry about it. It plus more came off when I started my fills back.

I back into the doctor in the morning to start the fill process over. It's been about 3 weeks since my issue of being to tight and they took all but 2cc out. Hoping they will put in 3cc tomorrow putting me up to 5 cc that is where I have been in the past and notice it starting to help.

My doctor has problems accessing my port due to scar tissue that has formed.i often wonder when he will not be able to get it. My body forms A LOT of scar tissue.

I have had my band for 2years and have lost almost 100 pounds. I am not able to have children due to some other medical issues. I also had an ablation done a few years ago so do not have to worry about my period. 2nd best decision I ever made

Several years ago I had the opportunity to get my medical records from birth to early teens. I was diagnosed as obese at age 3. I have known nothing different .

Doing so much better now. Able to eat anything!! Not liking that to well but still trying to eat foods that I have been so it's not so hard to adjust when I go back for a fill

20 bags of suguar!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My fills always take a week then they kick in and I think I am to tight when I am not ... Well most of the time. It takes a bit to learn how to eat after each fill. It's also very hard to stop eating when you start to fill satisfied but not full.

I got an unfill on Monday. They took out 5cc!! I had 7 in. Was way to tight. Feeling better but eating A LOT more than I should. Go back in 2 weeks to start back if swelling is better

Mine tilted and then one day I bent over and felt a pop had pain. It went away very fast at another appt for my back I had x-rays done and saw where my port had compleatly filpped!!!! I had surgery soon after to have it placed back. No issues since with it tilting or flipping!

Was able to get into see the PA today she is typically unable to access my port but today we had no other option as my regular dr was doing surgery all day. She did finally get it after a lot of poking and popping scar tissue. She took out 5cc. I had 7 in.feeling so much better. I go back on the 21st to see my dr and may do a small fill at this time. I was down 8 pounds in 3 weeks but not the way I want to loose it!!

Had a fill about 3weeks ago. Been having issues for 2 weeks now throwing in the towel and calling the doctor tomorrow for an unfill. Reflux , PBing,just not doing well with this.

Thanks for all the comments! I did call my doctor on Friday to be told that no one is in the office and to go to the ER. I have not gone did not feel that I was that bad. I am watching what I eat drinking a lot of liquids and will follow up with them on Monday. Of course if things worsen I will go to ER

I got a fill last Thursday . It's kicking in today, my fills usually take a week before I notice a difference. Anyone else band do this? I also think I am to tight. I ate some chicken salad for lunch and after a few bites was done. I ended up vomiting once and was fine. Tonight I ate 2 bites if Mac and cheese and felt the feeling of being stuck. Have vomited 2 times and still not feeling any better. Hope I can get into the dr tomorrow there is only 1 who can access my port the others can not find it.

I deal with this shoulder pain often!! I can feel the knot it's very painful I have not been able to convience my dr it's band related as it happens when I eat just a little or to much it can start a few minutes after eating or hours later!!

I had my surgery in 2010. It was a decision I do not regret at all!!! I weighed almost 400 pounds had to loose 20 before surgery and now 2 years later I have lost 100 it's been very slow but that is the best was. Good luck on your surgery!!!

It would depend on your band as to who made it. There are several. I have no suggestions for you. My port needed replaced a year after it was put in due to it flipping and breaking the stitches . This to was rare. No issues since the replacement .

I have shoulder pain as well some days it's after eating some not. This week it's been bad. I have a TENS unit for my back that I use on my shoulder it does help. I can also feel like a knot where it hurts, it's getting worse and has me worried that there is something wrong with my band. I was banded in March of 2010.

Hello! I am new to this site just found it today. I was banded on March 3rd of this year. I have 4.4cc's in my 10cc band. I have had 3 fills the last one was last week. I have lost 30-35lbs since surgery. I look forward to talking to everyone!
