Does anyone els get a pain behind their left shoulder blade and a dull ache for an hour or two after eating?

Hi Baarbs, I'm sure Gillian had the same problem, she was banded this time last year, I am sure it went within a month or two its connected with the trapped wind post op, remigel helped her and if its really uncomfortable she used dissolving paracetamol. All the best with getting used to your new band. Who is doing your fill in Newport? Chris Deprez did mine but that was going back to October last year.

Hiya everyone thanks for all the good wishes, much appreciated.

Baarbs that pain is wind related and should settle down after a few days though some girls I know had it for a bit longer, don't know why you only get it in the left side though!. Try hold your hands down by your side and slide them down as if trying to touch the side of your knees this should help relieve the pain. I think the wind pain is nearly worse than the pain of the op but it'll send down soon. Best of luck xx

Hi everyone, I have been reading with great intent to a lot of the comments about Dr Chris. I emailed Bridget several times asking the usual questions, and do you know that I feel so convinced that this is the right way to go. I too like many of you are trying to get the cash together to fund this life changing trip, but my printer has given up the ghost, so I guess I will have to find a legal way of getting it together! (only kidding!). Apart from that I am so excited about the prospect of having this done and hopefully in Feb 2010, so I can look better in May for my sons wedding in May. So all in all folks what a year 2010 will be for me. I feel like all my Christmas' have come at once, and I can't wait. Thanks for ALL the great stories from you all. I enjoy them so much and they give me such conviction to go for it. Regards to all you brave people. Paul:blushing:

Hi Paul, Welcome to the Bandsters site. My advice to you would be "listen to Garry he's the man" What he doesn't know about banding isn't worth knowing.My only regret is that I didn't find this site before I booked I would have saved at least a couple of hunred euros. Good luck:thumbup:

hi, to everyone not been on for a couple of months but good to see everyone doing well and more folk going ahead with the banding.

i was doing well for a good few month lost nearly 24 pounds then a family trate started playing up...... psoriasis which i could handle usually, but these were and still are even worse as ive got them on my face!!

anyway as regulars can see not been on as i let my focus slip and put on weight over xmas etc due to not going out anywhere etc eating for comfort/drinking etc and most of the 24 pounds is back on now!usual habits!

anyway due to get a fill again this month with Wendy hope it will actually work and give me some help this time (still no decent restriction) as this is why i had it done but it did not help me this time...so just remember as people do say not a miracle cure....hard work too!

im up for a fight again this time so heres hoping!;)

Hi Garry, Well I hear youre the man , so I found an expert straightaway, great news for me! I mailed Chris and Fredrick, but Fredricks bounced back, but I guess Chris will pass it on to him for his action. Let's see what happens, can't wait.... feel like a kid at Christmas. My lovely granddaughter Jessica made me laugh last night, she patted my tummy and said so innocently " Gaga you have a lovely tummy , but it's bigger than mine", lest she knows huh lol?

No Haven't heard from Jane yet I phoned her the morning we were leaving and she felt a lot better but was going to get a taxi direct to the eurostar good idea as she was on her own.

I have been to my doctor she was very supportive and see the practice nurse next Monday for the removal of stiches.

I think I probably feel less sore as Sam did all the lugging of the luggage and I did as little as possible. I've booked my first fill in Newport in 6 weeks thats the first time I can get it done there. I bought a wii sport today!!!! well I have good intentions anyway.You look after yourself and keep me posted xox

Hi Baarbs, Glad everything is going ok, havent been on for a little while as slipped off the wagon over Christmas and having a wee problem getting back into it. But I am going to Newport on Friday morning for a fill may bump into one another? I am keeping my fingers crossed that this will restrict me a bit more and get me back on track, as I couldnt get there in December. Good Luck on your Weight Loss Journey x:thumbup:x

Hi Timeisnow, I am off for a fill this week for the same reason, but have put on four pounds but struggling. Yes it isnt a miracle cure I agree and its hard work but there is something there that helps more that without, so I am starting again this week too.

I have replied as my husband has psroasis and it is getting quite bad, spoke to a lady this weekend whose husband is a consultant and she told me to get my husband to get his tonsils removed?? I was a bit unsure but have been goggling it on line and it appears to work for some people, might be worth knowing:thumbup:

Good Luck with the new start x

Hi flirty, reflux is like when you have a chest infection and flem or mucus comes up from your chest or gullet and comes back into your mouth, sometimes you cough it up or sometimes it just comes up without warning, it mostly happens when you lie down, it can be mucus or acid, or slime. The cause often is an overtight band or band slip.

Hope you are feeling well, you've gone awfully quiet lately

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
