Does anybody else have severe shoulder pain after eating . Nit sure why but since my last fill its been hurting my shoulders alot .

Yup, was a lot more severe at beginning, much better now (3months banded). It's my sign that I should put my fork down.

Yep. If I over eat only once it hits its too Late. Have been miserable before. Drinking with a meal makes it worse.

So this is not your "full sign" is only hits when you've eaten too much?

What is your full sign (if any)?

I actually will either start to feel full or get an "un-comfortableness" like something is about get stuck. If I listen and actually stop eating I'm usually ok. If I take one too many bites usually it will come back up. I am very right right now though. You have to get to that green zone and learn to listen to it. I've listened and not listened too many times to count. It's a big big big learning process and were all different. Hiccups are a sign too that your either too full or something's near getting stuck.

Tight- not right.

If I eat just one bite too much, my left shoulder hurts. I don't like to hurt so I am trying to pay close attention to my "fullness"

I am almost 2 years post band. That shoulder pain is going away. It was alway a tool to help me "put the fork down".

I kind of miss it.

I had this but it had nothing to do with overeating. They said it had to do with a nerve. I've been banded for over 6 years and have this problem every time I try to get a fill. Unfortunately, it doesn't go away until I remove the fill. Therefore, I am "fill free" in my band!

Yes it is due to a nerve but is stimulated when certain abdominal organs are manipulated with or damaged. You can have left shoulder pain called "referred pain" when the liver is injured. I had left shoulder pain severely when I had a c section with my son and they flipped my uterus out to sew it up afterwards. I have left shoulder pain when I over eat with the band. All pain is stimulated with nerves. It's how we feel. Nerves are connected to various parts of the body from the central nervous system and what effects one part of the body can cause pain on a completely different part.

Mine is the vagus nerve, some have this problem with lap-band.
