Another possibility is gall bladder issues, they are quite common after any WLS. If the chest pain is in the area under the right rib cage see your PCP to check for GB problems. Good luck!

Hope you are feeling better.  Never heard of kidney stones after WLS...gallstones yes, kidney stones, no.

If I didn't know better I would swear your band is too tight. I would fight to have the Doctor see you sooner, but that's just my opinion.

Good Luck on your Journey !!

Purple39lady,

Getting your place on the Loser's Bench in the Winner's Circle ready. Can't wait to see you!!

No matter what brand of Protein shake you buy, try to remember:

Keep the Calories low (try to stay around 150 or below would be better)

Keep the Proteins between 20 and 30 (25 is ideal)

Keep the Carbs below 10 (5 is ideal)

Keep the Calories from fat below 20

 

Good Luck on your Journey !!

Amy, thanks so much for the tip.  I may try those.  I have chosen some from GNC.   I chose the strawberry flavor.  I hope I like them.  How have you done?

Topic: chest and back pain
I have been banded since 2008 and have 7.5cc in my band. I have always had to get a fill and then loosen. Havent lost any weight and now i am having chest and back pain after i eat anything and sometimes after liquid too. I am following the rules and am currently doing liquids. I cant get an appointment until the 26th of april. What do you guys think this could be? I wish I would have never had this thing put in. :(

 Kim,

Please let us know something asap. I'm sure it's scary having this pain so close to your surgery. Praying for you!

 I personally prefer the Atkins Advantage shakes. They are a little more expensive, but when it's all you can have, taste is worth it. I actually still drink one on days I need extra protein. My favorite is the Mocha Cappuchino. I also like the Milk Chocolate and Strawberry. I don't care for the vanilla or dark chocolate though. Good luck and congratulations!!!
