Banded on the 20th, doing great no nausea, only pain is in my left shoulder and neck. Stayed over night in hospital, they gave nausea meds around the clock, for prevention, I felt it was worth it no to be nauseated. Very little pain and down over 10 lbs.:D. Made veg/beef Soup yesterday, tired on canned soup it was great.

I didn't have any nausea either, but I have that same pain and in the same location-left shoulder and neck. Almost like muscle spasms. What's that about? Is this normal?:confused2:

Sorry about your pain....I'm sure I will KNOW how you feel soon enough...as in next weekend!

I think it is normal based on the posts I've read and what the doc told me...gas tying to get out....Try a heating pad!

Yeah mine is at 10 am, I have to get there at 8 am, the nurse I met with at my pre-op visit to the hospital said they could give me a "happy pill" as soon as I get there. I am holding them to their word hahaha. I have to stay overnight so its gonna be a long day laying around in the hospital, but I'm sure I'll be so out of it I won't even notice haha, and my mom and my best friend are going to come with me, Good luck to you too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll see you on the other side :smile2: !!

Good luck Allison and Shelley. Things were way better than I or my husband expected. Today we went shopping at a mall in San Antonio and then to TWO movies! We saw What happens in Vegas, and Indi. I liked Vegas better but Indie wasn't too bad. I felt GREAT all day. No gas, minimal pain. I just absolutly can't believe it.

Prayers to all getting banded. Hugs to EVERYONE!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
