Left shoulder pain is caused by something totally different. Search the thread Shoulder Pain- Revieled on here.

Heating pads and walking.

Drs should talk about the gas more. No one ever told me about that. Pain meds didn't help at all. Only walking, heat and patience!

Thank you so much for this info. I was banded on 10/17 and went for my 1st fill on 11/1. Right after that I now have that shoulder pain. I get the pain after I eat. It takes hours to go away. Then I eat again and it's back. I hope it goes away soon!

Have you called the dr? My dr told me to take gelcap Advil for the inflammation. I still have a tinge of discomfort now and then but no pain, pain. I go in for my first fill on Monday.

Mine was December 2010. My pain did not leave for almost two months. It was originally from the surgery but I'm sure from dietary change and physical change of stomach with the band. I have these pains again from time to time when I am stressed and my band is too tight or if I have has a PB or stuck episode, which us rare. My left "angel wing" hurts always the left side. I will belch air. Sometimes it is because I didn't chew well enough or ate too fast or took too big of a bite. I ended up asking my surgeon same questions. Hope this helps.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
