Left Shoulder Pain After You Eat?

Just want to know if anyone else is going through this pain? I am 2 month post-op. How do you prevent it? Will it ever go away?

I have a lot of left shoulder pain. I think it's gas on my diaphragm. I had a major hiatal hernia repair with my VSG. I'm assuming I have the pain because of that. I am 11 days out and I still take a few gas x strips each day for it. :)

It sounds like gas possibly to me. I would probably mention it to my doctor. I know sometimes I'll get gas pain under my shoulder blades. I use gas-x, get up and move a lot, and sometimes raising my hands above my head (A suggestion I got from another sleever here) helps the gas move up and out.
