Sooo disappointed!!

:tt1: I am upset right now because I had really bad pain in my left shoulder and chest on last Saturday... and then I had some bad pains in the same areas just a couple times over the last couple days, but I feel better everyday! And also it was only happening if I stood or walked too long, as soon as I sat down--pain was gone! So I decided to have my patient facilitator get ahold of my doctor last night... and he says to do gaviscon and stay on liquids for another week!!!! I'm kinda freaking out!!!! does this mean that something is wrong? I just started mushies today!!! :tongue_smilie: and it feels fine when I eat! I read on this forum that this pain is kinda common. I dunno... I think I am more upset about having to go back on liquids, but I am scared to death that something is wrong... maybe I just over did it on Saturday... I did get my hair done, and after they wash my hair in the sink like 3 times it puts a lot of strain on my upper torso (even before I was banded, but ususally the pain is just in my neck)

Sounds to me like you have what most of us get after laproscopic surgery and going back on liquids does not make it go away as far as I know. If that is what it is, it is not serious and the only thing that will fix it is time. If it were serious I would think they would have had you go in to be checked.

Hey darlin'! Just hang in there! After my surgery, I was still in some pain up until 2 weeks after. Remember to take it easy and don't do too much bending or lifting. I promise, if you're careful, it gets better!

(BTW - We are sooooooo getting together when you're on mushies and gabbing. I can't wait to see you and hear all about your surgery! I'm so proud of my J! )
