Intense pain in upper back



Recommended Posts

I had lapband surgery in June, 2008, with no complications until yesterday. After eating I felt like something was stuck. I waited & waited but the pain is still there today--almost 24 hours later. It's intense pain in my upper back...any ideas? Have been throwing up also--even liquids.< /p>

Sandy,

I've had this sensation before-about a week after my last fill (banded in April-08) just now feeling restriction. How are you doing, now? What did your Dr. say was the problem?

By intense pain, I mean INTENSE pain with vomiting for +36 hours. Since my surgeon was 3 hrs away, I put off making the drive for a couple of days. When I got there & drank the barium, he ordered emergency surgery. The band had slipped into a vertical position (not too common). I had the choice to repair the band or remove it. I chose removal.

Sandy... Sorry about your ordeal. Do you have any advice or did the doctor have an opinion why the band slipped?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
