hi everyone~my first post here. That said, I was banded this past Thursday, May 12th. Felt fine in the hospital. Felt fine yesterday, but slept a lot.

Today I feel like I was hit by a truck. Sore all over...but most painful is neck pain on the left side of my neck down into my shoulder. Is this the shoulder gas pain

I have read about? OMG, it's like the worst crick in my neck ever...it's killing me! I have been walking, spacing my liquids and mushie food. I don't have a heating pad.

What else can I do? how long does it last? I have a high tolerance for pain, but this really hurts!

Someone here said to fill an athletic sock with uncooked

Rice and put it in the microwave to heat. It's like a heating pad and it stays warm a long time. Best wishes!

you took the word right out of my mouth I was also banded on May 12th and woke up with the worst neck pain all OVER seriously it almost competes with the amount of gas that I am suffering.. I have no shoulder pain just the neck and gas :( sucks cause once I think it is letting up it comes right back

I just had surgery May 10th to reposition my port because it flipped :( It wasn't all that horrible it was the same procedure as the actual banding but only dealing with the port. And my neck was extremely SORE & STIFF for like 3 days!! It was probably from the breathing tube they put down your throat that's really all I can think of...well I hope u feel better soon!!

I had the same pain it was the day after my surgery. I felt like my surgeon threw me around the operating room, it was so bad the morphine wasn't even helping. I just slept it off and I felt much better the next day!

Hope you're feeling better. My surgery was May 11 and I had that pain really bad the first two days and it seems to just be towards my collar bone now. But it's really easing up.. I was told from the doctors office that its normal and from the gas from the surgery. Heat and walking around was all that seemed to help me.

Hi:

A very hot shower may help with this pain. As hot as you can stand it and have the Water hit your left shoulder. Worked for me.

Best wishes to you to be rid of the pain.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
