Back Pains that come with the band?

[CasHorsinRound 1]

Ok First let me say that I have been SO bad, because I have told none of this to my surgeon for fear he will want to take out ALL my Fluid. So I have just been dealing with all of it.....

I have pain in my back and shoulder blades after I eat even just a small amount. Its so odd. It started when I was pregnant, and has not really stopped. Much of the time the only way to get this pain to stop is by throwing up or eating ice cream... I dunno what it is about the ice cream, but maybe a combo of the super cold, thick, creamy... I dont know. Milk, Yougert, Sherbert do not work the same.

Anyway, the Ice Cream thing is completely COUNTER PRODUCTIVE to weight loss. I still have a lot to go since I gained 80lbs while preggers... Im down to about 20 lbs above my pre pregnancy...

Any one have these symptoms? What causes it? Am I going to have to suck it up and tell my surgeon that I have foolishly been hiding this from him for about a year? Obviously the pain isnt THAT bad, and its NOT all the time... mostly mornings and early afternoon IF I try to eat... band too tight? slipage?

I also have a lot of pain in my shoulder blade after I eat. My doctor thought that it was my gallbladder so they removed it. But I still have the pain. Sometimes I have to hold my arm they are so bad. I am glad to see that I am not crazy because some people think that I am when I talk about it.

I had the worst shoulder blade pains for a few years. It took me pleading for an ultrasound of my gallbladder to finally be correctly diagnosed. No ulcers, no cardiac issues.I had multiple gall stones! My gallbladder needed to come out. No pain since GB came out two years ago! Sometimes it's the last thing the docs think of with us women when it should be one of the first.

I have terrible pain when my food gets stuck. It's right in the upper center of my back around the bra band area and just above it too. It feels like a professional football player hurled a football right into my back. It burns and aches so bad and it's hard to even sit or stand. I've been banded 4 years and have lost 82 lbs. It helps to sit on the floor bent over forward until my forehead touches the floor. Then I lay on a heating pad. Some days I'm still tight, after all these years. Other days I'm not. I just live with it.
