First fill, now shoulder pain...

I had my first full yesterday of 2cc and am on liquids. But all of a sudden my left shoulder is killing me. It hurts more when I breath. Anyone else had this problem?

Left shoulder pain is common side effect with the band. Try a heating pad, if that doesn't help, you might want to get some of the fill removed. Best of luck, hope it resolves on its own.

I get that shoulder pain when I am eating too much (it's a sign to stop) or when I'm stuck, or I have not chewed food enough and it is having problems going down. It sometimes passes through and I instantly feel the shoulder pain go away. Make sure you are chewing small bites, and that you are chewing them enough. I have found that I do better with that if I am standing up. Hope if gets better for you.

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately I had not even eaten when the pain started. It lasted all day, but since Thursday I have not gotten it again. I am guessing it came from getting the fill the day before. I had never had a fill before (banded nov.19). Thank you for responding.
