new shoulder pain



Recommended Posts

Does anyone else get shoulder pain? I'm not sure if its my new fill or if it even has anything to do with my lap band.

I get terrible pain in my left back shoulder. It feels like my muscles are on fire. Usually happens when I eat to much. Gives me a lot of incentive to eat right. I take gas x when it happens but not sure if it helps. Try moving around.

I had that for my first 3mths. It was my soft stop when eating. The minute I got a twinge I had to stop or suffer. After my last fill, it did go away. Bitter sweet, miss the stop signal, but not the pain.

I only had left shoulder pain for 3 days after my surgery. That was the only pain I had. I found a heating pad helped or the "magic bag" you put in the microwave.

I would call your doctor just to check in.

I'm the same, just coming up to my 3 month mark and the pain is getting less and less, however, it sure is a good sign to put my fork down when eating. As soon as I get the first twinge, I'm done with food.

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

      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?

      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! 😞
