Hello. I had my band removed on 9/4 and now have been experiencing bad back pain directly behind the site where my band was at. Has anyone else experienced this? The nurse said it can happen depends on how much scar tissue was removed which my surgeon said I had a lot.

bless your heart. hope you feel better asap! wish you a speedy recovery!

Thank you sooo much. I have been so down and depressed it really sucks. I'm supposed to be sleeved in November but freaked out because of this pain from this surgery. Hopefully won't be sooo bad!!

I had the left scapular pain when i had the band and honestly did not know that the band was the cause until i had it removed and the pain dissappeared. When you have your vsg make sure you tell your surgein about your shoulder pain because obviously there is an innervation of nerve and it seems as though maybe it is entrapped in scar tissue. I hope that you can get some relief soon!
