  1. I was banded a year ago and recently I've had this dull pain on my left side top of my rib cage? Anyone experience this? Could this just be gas.....I know no one wants to talk about that...but it is what it is
  2. Ok..so last night I had bad heart burn, this morning every-time I shallow I have a sharp pain in my throat that leads down my upper back right between my shoulder blades?????? Anyone ever have this feeling? I know I'm not sick, it's not the type of common sore throat pain. Any help please, I hate to bother my Doctor on his off time
  3. I had a fill 4 days ago: Last night I had a chipotle burrito, I only ate a small portion. About 30min later I started having this bad pain in my back on the right-side just below my shoulder blade. I also had a lot of gas (sorry) and bloating. I don't know what it feels like to be stuck, I didn't feel anything hard or anything. I called my surgeon and he said I am filled too much and that it is esophagus spazm..has anyone experienced this and when does it go away. my surgeon wants me to come in and take some Fluid out, but this is the first time I have had restriction. Honestly, I'm scared its signs of a heart attack, although I'm 39 isn't this how most women feel??? Surgery- 11/9/2010 Any thoughts

  5. Yes, it could be allergies. Drink some pineapple juice to see if it will help dissolve the mucous. Hope this helps.
  6. I also have a 10cc, I got my surgery November 9, 2010 and I'm filled to 8cc. I HAVE NO restriction, hate it. I'm going back to doctor to see if I have a leak, or to fill this band up. I didn't pay 12,000.00 dollars to not have this work!!!
  7. I was banded on November 9, 2010. My first week I stuck to the post op diet, by the start of the second week I was eating eggs and soft foods...but by the end of the third week I was eating normal......and by normal I mean my old habits!!!!!!!!!! I rushed into this surgery and thought.."Oh this will be easy, I wont be hungry" WRONG. The only thing I notice when I eat, or over eat is pain between my shoulders. I've lost 11 pds. I haven't had a fill because of a new job and getting bronchitis. Basically I feel like a big FAILURE. Now its Christmas time and sweets are taking over, any words to help me pull my head out of my >>>
