This will get better. Mine hurt terribly for weeks to the point I couldn’t even sip water without pain. Now it is 100% better with only the occasional twinge if I eat too much. Heat help but chewing really really well, eating slowly and stopping eArly helps the most. I understand it’s some nerve entrapment and takes time to heal. It’s can also be a sign of a leak if it’s constant so request a CT well after surgery but 2 days post op it’s totally normal from gas. I had a CT done and no leak but they did leave a piece of my old lap and tubing behind so needed to have that removed later. It was Not the cause of my shoulder d pain but better safe than sorrry. I’m told it’s not uncommon with a hernia repair and does get better over time. I hope you feel better soon.

I stop as soon as I get the slightest twinge and wait 20 minutes to try again. Take very small sips and tiny bites and chew lots. My CT scan shows there might be a piece of the old band left in there but they are not sure. It can be somewhat normal for a while after a hernia repair.

Hey everyone just wondering what the outcomes were with the shoulder pain? I am eight weeks out from a hernia repair and VSG and I am continuing to have shoulder pain when I eat or drink more than 2-3 oz. My doctor ordered a CT scan to check on things as it seems to be getting worse over time instead of better. Are you guys still having shoulder pain or did it resolve?
