I was banded in April of this year......... the past few days I am having left shoulder/back/chest pain.... its not terrible pain but its enough to keep me uncomfortable non stop. I am wondering if this pain could mean that my band is too tight? I am having PMS right now and wondering if that has anything to do with the pain? I have heard that the band is tighter during TOM but I am wondering if a tight band can cause the pain in my shoulder and back? I have had two fills and a total of 3.5 CC's in my 9 CC band. :eek:

Thanks

I am not banded yet so I dont know the answer regarding the band but dont dismiss the pain as only being band related. Check with a doctor. While it is probably a long shot those symptoms could be something more serious than the band, like your heart. Not trying to get you upset but most people ignore heart symptoms. Good luck and let us know how you are doing.

With restriction you can get that kind of discomfort with food. But all the time, even when you haven't eaten (or are not hungry, amazingly hunger can cause that kind of pain in a handful of banded folks) then there might be something else going on.
