Hi my name is Erica I just got the band a little over two weeks ago. I wanted to know if anyone else has experienced a pain on your left side under the shoulder? It seems to me it is some type of had pain but idk , it wakes me up in the middle of the night. It does not feel like heartburn at least not Luke what I use to have. Any help would be great.

Thanks.

I have the same pain. I was banded yesterday. It's from the gas they use during surgery. I was told laying flat and arms up helps; along with a heating pad. And if you can burp that helps too.

Gas x , heating pad and walking will help. I am 3 weeks out and still get it occasionally. Good luck.

Thanks guys. I thought maybe there was still some of the air but I wasn't sure.

It can also be referred pain, according to my surgeon, from moving your diaphragm during surgery.

Either way, it does eventually pass.

Well that's good to know.

Okay so New question.

Its been 4 weeks and I lost 17 pounds in this time frame. But now its not dropping I go up 1 pound down 1 pound. Any advice or tricks I can do. I'm using the gazelle to work out on but only 5 mins a day so far trying to get better at it
