I am in the same situation exactly! Banded Dec 14th too! Just recently, I developed an excruciating pain that filled my thoracic region, went up my neck, into my jaw and arm and even down into my leg. I did nothing but moan. Drugs didn't help me either. It was a build up of gas but it has been almost a week now and I STILL feel like someone has beaten me across the back with a bat.

So, please, let me know what your test results show. I have my first post-op visit next week. Thanks!

Wow Atl-Jen, someone who finally had the same problems as me... but I don't have a answer for you, every test they ran, blood, xray, cat scan - it all came back NORMAL. I'm convince it still has something to do w/ surgery but the doc didn't have a clue, says maybe it's sinus even though my sinus test came back normal too and I've never had sinus problems before. I'm thinking it's swelling pushing on a nerve or something... I've notice since my swelling as gone down the pain is not as bad so prayerfully it will go away completely once all my swelling is gone. I will keep you in pray Jen-Alt, I feel for you. Please talk to your doctor - weird 2 people having same thing happen both w/ lap band on same day at that!

Hey guys, It's been 2 week since I tried the cocktail. I'm doing well, on Friday I was scared because I start feeling a twitch of pain but after I took the Naproxen it went away. I still don't know what the issue was but I get my first fill next week and will find out why was I going through that 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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
