sholder pain after first fill



Recommended Posts

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?

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
