I'm 10 weeks post, never really had this before, just in the last week or so, is this normal?

There are a number of people that do have issues with shoulder pain post band. Look it up on the forum and you should find lots of threads that should help to give you a better understanding of how and why the pain occurs.

soon after surgery, most of us have had that pain... its actually the gasses in your abdomen... and that causes that pain in your shoulder. i had mostly in the first few weeks after surgery.

Yeah i've read a little about it, to my understanding somehow another your nerves in your stomach share the same nerve in the shoulder area? And if your stomach is being irritated it hurts your shoulder, but i never had this pain before and i'm 10 weeks post, but I do have alot of gas that i don't normally have, but i'm not to worried at this time. Thanks everyone for your help!

Just a thought, I get shoulder pain when I eat too quickly or too much. I am 16 months post op.

Yes - I usually get the pain if I am eating too fast as well.

I am 7 months post op and I get not only left shoulder pain but also mid back pain when I eat too much or too quickly. The sad thing is that the pain is not immediate (so no early warning to stop eating) and no amount of OTC pain med helps to relieve the discomfort. It is just a matter of time (sometimes it lasts more than an hour) for the pain to dissapate.
