Its not as crazy as you think. Stuff presses on stuff within our body and gives us radiating pain. Remember that song the "knee bone connected to the shin bone, shin bone connected to the ankle bone.....and so on."

They should have a song like that for the nervous system.Ive done a bit o readin, but Im no doctor. I know that I have a deformity in my neck that I was born with, and it involves two discs being fused together invitro. When my low back acts up, and there is pain just as often and at the same time my neck also acts up and is in pain. Other time my neck refers the pain down my arm/s.

Theres something called the "sympathetic nervous system", and I think therein may lay the problem. If your intestines are pressing directly on a nerve when full ,OR on something else that then presses on a nerve, it could cause "Referred pain" to the neck area , or just about anywhere. But given the sympathetic nervous system, odds are its referred with the realm of this in the context of neck vs lower body issues. this is probably very confusing, and not easy to briefly explain.

I had a pain one time, and it felt as if it was in my right ovary, and throbbed something fierce. Oddly when the Physician pressed on the very spot where the pain was, I could feel another pain clear over around my vagina,colon area.Referred pain, he said.

Bone and nerves require orthopedic doctors and then neurologists. stomach and intestines are more gastro- intestinal.

PCP doctors basically help you rule out which drs, should be seen and in what order.

You could talk to your pcp. Or if you already have a GI doctor and/or surgeon, ya might want to talk with the one youve got already. Its up to you and how much money you have to be referred and referred again, etc. etc., if ya get my drift. Good luck, and I hope you get it fixed. Pain sucks! Sincerely, Sandy

Had an unfill today just 1/4cc out. The pinch nerve feeling between shoulder blades and neck has subsided. Could this have anything to do with the vagus nerve and the band restriction? I all ready feel like a million bucks with that small unfill....has been 5 hours since unfill.

I was told that its over eating. It's similar to the trapped wind pain after surgery. I also get this if I eat bread. Hence I don't eat bread any longer. If you eat really slowly you can usually get an indication of the pain starting and you'll usually find your no longer hungry and its time to stop x

I have this and it's very helpful in letting me know when I've eaten enough.

Dr said its a nerve the LB presses against and it's wise to listen to it.

Thanks Maddysgram!

It's funny I never got the unbelievable shoulder gas pain after surgery, that everyone talks about. But when I'm eating and get a twinge, do not take another bite or time for heating pad.lol

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
