I had mine 13 days ago and had very bad chest, shoulder and collar bone pain. I developed back pain a couple days later, which I attributed to the fact that I could only sleep on my back, which I was not used to. I do know that before I was fully sedated I know I was being strapped to the table and tilted a little, so I think you are put in a sort of traction device to give the surgeon maximum room to work inside you. I hope you feel better soon :)

Thanks for sharing with me... Pain reliever didn't help. Gonna try walking and see if maybe its gas.

Hopefully it will be gone in a few days....

Walking definately helped me. The more I walked, the better I felt. Good luck!

I hope your back pain gets better,,Its probably gas I hope. If not seek pain medications from your doctor.

I just got banded yesterday.. i was so excited until the numbness and anesthia were off.

The pain is as if i were hit by a bus. They give some serious pain medication at hospital which worked up to3-4hours then pain came back double... I was then released went home only to find the pain increasing. i took the prsecribe hydrocodone but really didnt help.

Today my whole body from neck, shoulders, arms, of course belly and some weakness in legs.

I feel like a gutted fish.

And havent slept been pacing all night.

Is this common....

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
