I had my surgery yesterday & today my chest is hurting like crazy. It was my left shoulder yesterday which they told me to expect but now it has moved across the middle of my chest toward the right side. Is that normal?

It is perfectly normal. It's from the gas they use during the surgery. I used Phazyme... you can use Gas-X, they have the strips you put on your tongue and they dissolve... that should help relieve some of the gas pains... I know I burped a lot the day after the surgery but then I wasn't burping much but I still felt like I needed to burp.. once I started taking the Phazyme, it helped and got better... congrats on starting your journey!!

Just a quick note to let those who were so supportive know that I made it through the surgery fine. Wasnt much pain. Just soreness on one side. I was able to eat right after the surgery. Was surprised to still have a growling tummy. Looking forward to that going away.

Good morning all-

I'm back to work today and was banded last Thursday. I can say I'm feeling good and I've lost 9lbs so far, well a total of 18 from the beginning of the pre op diet. I'm pretty pumped and surprised that I'm not hungry. It's amazing to get full on Jello and water-HAHA:ohmy:

Congratulations to anyone else who was banded last week! WE are on our way!

Thanks to everyone for their support and suggestions. I had surgery last Tuesday, the 22nd and am on my way back to work today, since I finally feel like a "normal" person. The tips for using the heating pad were a life saver. I still have some of the shoulder pain but it is much less & something I can handle. So far I've lost about 11 pounds since I started getting ready for the surgery & hope to keep adding! Thanks for the encouragement.:smile2:

Sounds like everyone is doing really good. I am surprised at the great weight losses too.

For those of you who have gone back to work. Good job. I am afraid my energy is just not up their yet.

Keep up the good work.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
