I was banded March 2006. The worst complaint I have is left shoulder pain. It took around 3 months to finally subside but then I got my first fill. That same day my left shoulder pain returned. Has anyone else experienced this (shoulder pain with fills)? I don't want to get an unfill but I am questioning how long I can put up with the shoulder pain...sometimes it brings me to tears it hurts so bad.

I have also had bad shoulder pains in my left shoulder, and my god does it hurt, i had it right after my surgery and still get them, and ive only had one fill. i get at least one a week and i just fight through the pain, havent found anything that works for me yet, gas x pills didnt work and i thought maybe a heating pad may work along with some Rub A535.... didn't work....

Had my first fill yesterday. As they were filling me up I started getting the left shoulder pain. Not real bad, but I noticed it. As I was driving home it got a little more intense and then started subsiding about an hour later. It never got real bad. I definitely think it is related.
