Ok so I am hoping I am not the only one....Everytime I eat lately I get this weird pain in my left shoulder/neck area and it generates all the way down my arm into my hand. I find myself constantly rubbing my shoulder and hand hoping the pain/irritation goes away! Is anyone else experiencing this???

I HAVE NOT HAD THIS HAPPEN, HOWEVER: From everything that I have read, that might be a signal that there is a problem with the band. You need to go to your Dr. and let him look at it.

How far post op are you? It seems some banded people get it forever post banding. Basically the band rubbing on a nerve or the diaphragm (I forget which), that gives you referred pain to your shoulder. There was one woman on here who had her band removed due to the chronic pain.

I got banded in November of 2010 so it's been awhile and I would occassionally get the pain when I ate something I shouldnt have ate or over ate but it would go away within an hour or so. However the past 3 or 4 days its just kinda there, after reading some of the your responses Im getting kinda worried. I will be calling my Doctors office today. Thank you for all your responses they are greatly appreciated.

I'm 3 days post op with the iband (Lapband w/imbrication) and I'm having the same type of pain. It's been worst part of the whole experience so far. Please let us know what your Dr. says. I have a follow up next Thursday, I'll let you know what he says. Almost forgot I had a hiatal hernia repair too.

Ok so I spoke to the Doctors Office she said that it sounds like the nerve is rubbing on the diaphram and it may just be that I need to be unfilled a little bit. Also, we've noticed that when I am menstrating I experience tightening of the band so both of them together can be the reason for the weird pain that I am experiencing. She wants me to do liquidy foods for the next couple days to see if that helps calm everything down.....please let me know what your Dr says

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
