Hello all. I'm on the other side. I was banded about 9 hours ago. I'm home and doing well. Pain in my stomach not too bad. I've had 2 c sections and the pain is comparable. Hard to get up and down but just kinda sore when laying down. My question is.... has anyone experienced back pain? I have a bad back anyway but I've had constant pain my in back since I woke up. Nothing is helping. Could is be gas pains? I've heard gas pains in the shoulder but not the back. Also I have discomfort in my chest. Almost feels like heartburn. Is this gas? Overall doing well. Getting up walking some sleeping some and have only had Water today. Thanks for reading and the support. Here's to a healthier skinny all of us!!! :)

Congratulations new bandster!! You could very well be experiencing gas pains. Walk, walk, walk and walk some more. It could be from the position they had you in on the operating table, that has happened to me. However, should the pain continue, or get worse, as always, call your surgeons office for their advice.

Probably back pain from the operating room table. Very common. Are you taking any pain medicine?

The gas pains are horrible. Walk, walk, walk. That will help work all the gas out quickly.

Hello I'm newly banded on yesterday and I'm experiencing really bad chest pain. Not sure if it's gas or what but I'm taking GasX and not feeling any relief. I'm feeling full eating the broth or the Jello and I don't have much of a appetite. If this pain in my chest would go away I would be on top of the world.

I think the pains are probably gas and a side effect of anesthesia. I have heard walking helps. I am wondering if any of the back pain is related to having the port stitched into place? It seems like it should be painful from the port....no? I have not been banded (on the dark side) but am really looking forward to being on the BBC lighter side :) I hope you feel better and I wouldn't hesitate to call the doctors office with questions about how you are feeling. They may even have an emailed address that you can use. At True Results were assigned advocates that we can call too. They get paid for these services, don't forget to use them :) let me know how you are doing!!

Yes I have a bad back n about day 3 the back pain kicked it. I think it's from not my normal moving around but after a day it two it subsided and by day 6 I was almost back to the old me . Day 9 is today n I'm going back to work and actually excited !! The pain except for this crazy gas issue that comes n goes is all gone. I think the gas is lost there is no hole in my left arm fir it to escape lol although I thought about making one it hit so bad joking. Give ur self time and you will be fine :)

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
