sholder pain after first fill

azchick · April 5, 2008

Hi all!

I had my first fill yesterday. 1.5cc's in an ab (I think) which is equivilant to a 10cc band. I did liquids for 24 hours and had 4oz salmon and 6 oz green Beans. Just after I started eating I got these strange pains in my left shoulder. Is that normal and what does it mean?? I also waited an hour after to drink Water which was hard to do. I didn't feel hungry for several hours but now I am rumbly in my tummy. Ate a peice of low fat string cheese and got a little gassy. Is this all normal? Is this my new bandster life? My doc gave me a list of lot's of no no foods: any bread/pasta/popcorn/granola bars/tortillas. WOW!!! He said he had done so many fixes with slipped bands recently that he wants all patients to just stay away from these things. Did it take a while to figure out what foods your body would tolerate? This is a learning expierence everyday!

Best of luck to everyone!:tongue: Peace

I never experienced the pain in the shoulder after a fill. The only time I notice a pain in my shoulder is when I have a vomitting episode. And it normally goes away in a few mins. I was banded 12/11/06. I cannot have bread/pasta/baked potatoes/rice...I gues anything that is heavy. And something that is weird if i eat potato chips I cannot have lays but I can eat ruffles. weird huh? I can however eat tortillas I wonder why you cannot eat those?
