Was banded on may 2. I still have gas pain and Also pain in my left shoulder, arm and back. I haven't been able to consume much because when I do I get a very uncomfortable feeling. I do occasionally get a hungry feeling. I can't wait to feel better. The different feelings confuse me. I've needed something my whole life to help me lose weight. I truly hope this is it for me'

Congrats on your recent procedure! I was just banded May 3rd and I'm feeling better just hard for me to bend and my energy is low due to low food intake but I am hungry often.. So while 1/2 of my diet is on the liquids I've had to consume some purée or soft foods.. I know not recommended but I'm bout to search out a thread that addresses this issue. My point is that I can tell everyones journey is different and I empathize with your concern that I,hope this procedure will help in short and long term weight loss as I've always needed asst as well! Hang in there, get the rest you need and I'm Sure you'll feel better shortly!

Banded May 2 too. I feel better , I will see my doctor tomorrow!
