I had my third fill a couple weeks ago and have 4 ccs in a 14 cc band. I feel great restriction and have made myself adjust to chewing better (I wasn't doing so well with that before). The only problem is that within a couple hours of the fill, after drinking a bottle of water, I got a nagging pain, like a pinch, in my right shoulder and up my neck a little bit. This pain comes and goes, but seems to follow my eating or drinking something. I know I am not overeating because I get full from just a couple of bites. I only eat band friendly foods, no breads, dry meats or anything like that. I have tried to research it and can't seem to find anything that would explain the right shoulder pain so long after surgery. If anyone has any insight on this I would greatly appreciate it. I have a doctor's appointment coming up and will ask him also, but I was just wondering if anybody had any info about it. Thank you for any help you might have for me
