Hi all

My name is Beth, I had my lap-band done on 12/20/06..just 3 days ago!. I had my surgery done in Monterrey Mexico, by Dr. Javier De La Garza. I had a wonderful experience, as far as any surgery can be "wonderful". My only problem has been shoulder pain from the gas used to inflate the abd. The incisions bearly hurt at all. I am looking forward to this pain going away so I can get on with my life. I look forward to sharing my experience with anyone who is interested and learning from all of you that post.

Hi Kaboom,

I too am still dealing with THE PAIN!!!! It hits me when I least expect it. I had a good morning though. I ate my full liquid diet this pm, was very hungry, and 30 mins later, the pain is coming back. I have such trouble burping, and what comes out never seems to be enough. I just lie on my left side, usually fall asleep...wake up and it is gone. I have to go back to work tomorrow...I hope I don't get an attack of that pain.

hey grandma...how is your arm pain, did it go away? how was your Christmas?
