Can your band give you discomfort in your back instead of your stomach?
Posted , 4 users are following.
Had a band fitted NHS 8 weeks ago. No problems. Had 4ml added at 4 weeks and a further 2ml at week 7....now at week 8 and started to get pain/discomfort in my back/shoulder blade when I eat. Is this normal? I don't feel any restriction in my stomach yet, can eat everything still and portion sizes have crept up in last 3 weeks. Lost 22lbs but really struggling now as have no signals or feelings of fullness but started to get this back pain.....am I just unusual...is this my signal unique to me....is this my retriction feeling? Anyone got any ideas?

Sorry it seems like you've had a large amount of fills in a short period of time, it could be your body getting used to it.
It could also be your "full" feeling too.
The band does affect people in different ways because we are all different.
I have had discomfort in my bottom and pelvic area but just put it down to my general pains.
I would say not to ignore it though. If it persists or gets worse you should get it checked.
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful than this. Hope you're feeling great and back on track again soon.

sorry cant advise on the pain in your shoulder/back - i know people often experience this when newly post op but if you didnt and are now suffering this perhaps you should consult yr GP for advice as it could be that it is not related to yr wgt loss surgery -
