I had my lap band placed 2 weeks ago. Every time I get moving in a vehicle, I get nausea and referred pain in my back and shoulders. Is this normal? What can I do? I still cannot drive to work which is nearly an hour of driving. Any recommendations? Btw, I am still on the liquid only diet. Just started back on a watered down version of protein shakes a few days ago.

Hey Jaredboyd,Just looked at you weight lose. Surely thats not just since you had the band fitted????? You`ve done amazing anyhow

I still have a lot of pain especially when I drive and my op`s were start of March 14.

I find it eases slightly if i`m sat completly upright.

I dont drive too long at the moment but am hopeing to return to bus driving after 6 months post op.

Hope your pain eases soon

All the best with your weight lose journey.

I have lost 75 since I first met my surgeon in December: I cut sugar and most carbs. I have lost 19 since my surgery 2 weeks ago. This uncomfortable pressure and such is the worst part for sure. I am feeling miserable again today. Walking doesn't seem to help. I don't remember reading anything about all of this pressure before the surgery.
