Hi All! I had a fill on Monday... I have had so many fills since I have been banded I don't know which one it is? I was banded Dec. 22, 2009 and have lost nearly 140 lbs. My last fill was December. So, it's been awhile since I have been THIS restricted. I have mainly just had liquids since. The issue is that last night, under the right part of my ribcage toward the back I have a lot of pain... now today it is on both sides in about the same place.

Do you think this is related to the fill? It's been kinda rough, but really no throwing up or anything since I am watching very closely what I eat. If I overeat I get the pain in my left shoulder, never like this?

Ouch!

after my 4th fill (hard to remember exactly) but I would have pain shoot out from the middle of body where band is positioned thru the back of my shoulder blade on the right side (I always hear it is from the left side). Each fill would do that and the pain would last about 5 days until I lost a few pounds then quit. I was told that when filled it pressed on a nerve and that when I lost a few pounds that the pressure was taken off. The pain was something I could tolerate and even ignore to a point if you know what I mean. If it doesn't go away after a week then I think you might be a smidge too tight and need to get just a "smidge" taken out. The best thing is to talk it over with your doctor and get his/her opinon.
