I've been getting some shoulder pain,between chest and shoulder. It feels like when I got out of surgery and had gas. Is it the band and is it normal? It happens out of the blue.

It could be diet...maybe you ate something spicy? I have had that happen occasionally but it goes away. Usually directly associated with my diet. If its not gone, call your doctor.

I get shoulder pain if I eat too much or if I am hungry.

That's the phrenic nerve that passes through the area. It's an indicator you've eaten too much or too fast and the nerve gets pinched. Try eating slower or less. It happens quite often to many people so don't panic. Take it as an indicator that you've eaten too much.

yep..indicates too much food

I get that shoulder pain when I eat too fast or when I need to stop eating. It sure makes me stop or slow because sometimes it is bad!!

Wow!! I get that too and had no idea, in my support group they said that it's residual gas from surgery, but surgery was a month and a half ago. I'm glad to see this, I'm going to start paying more attention when I get that pain and see if it's after I've eaten.

I also get shoulder pain either when Ive havent eaten or when I eat something gassy!!!!!
