I am getting that as well. It is from the gas they blow our bellies up with during the surgery. It takes a few days to work its way through your system. Walking is the best thing to help move it around.

I had mine on April 1 and I am still having some terrible left shoulder pain.....I am going to get staples out with the surgeon today and am planning on talking to him about it because it is really horrible pain.....I will hopefully get some answers.

I also had mine on the 7th, I didn't start getting the pain until yesterday...... It was sooo bad last night I couldn't take it. What has helped is holding my left arm up over my head and pulling it with my right arm. I have had previous surgeries and it doesn't feel like the gas pains I have had in the past. I am going for my post op tomorrow and hope to get some answers.....

Well, I went today for my one week. It is referred pain from my diaphragm. Take smaller swallows, don't take big bites of Jello................. I did mention that this even happens in the evening when I am not eating or drinking. He asked to me to write down when it was happening and what I was doing.

I was banded on march 14 and also had a Hernia repair. I had terrible pains in shoulders and chest. I called the doctor and they said it was from the hernia repair. It took 3 weeks before it got better.
