THANK YOU for saying this! I got banded this morning and everything has been great except the shoulder pain and I thought something was wrong.

Yes! I was banded on Monday and the shoulder / chest pain really took me by surprise. The gas pain right under my diaphragm was so bad it was hard to talk or take deep breaths. I was definitely unprepared for that. Today (day 4) is the first day that feels substantially better. Gas x helped a bit but I think you just have to wait for the gas to work it's way out :unsure: . Good luck everyone!

My update: I was banded first thing this morning so I'm only around 6 hours out. They repaired my hernia too. I have been home for almost 5 hours. I'm only a little sore. Mostly at the port site. But the pillow helps that when coughing and moving. And I am keeping fingers crossed that I'm one of the lucky ones because I have had minimal gas pain so far. I have my gas ex and heating pad for the little bit that I do feel.

Yay! I'm official now! :)

I go for my first fill tomorrow, can't wait to see what it's all about! I've lost 10 lbs in 4 weeks since Surgery, not really sure if that's good or bad but I'm happy with it! What were your weight loss totals 4 weeks post opp?

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
