What Is This Pain In My Shoulder/neck?



Recommended Posts

I am six weeks out and FULL OF QUESTIONS today....(thank God for this forum)

After I've been eating I get this sharp pain in my shoulder/neck. I think it is a trigger to tell me I need to stop but I'm not sure.

Anyone get this? Or does anyone know what this is?

I was told by my surgeon it could be gas pains....He has told me that patients have explained of chest, arm, shoulder, neck and etc pain.

Are you taking anything for gas? Like Gas X ?

I am only 4 days out but i get this pain in my side. I think it's from the horrible vomitting on day 2 after my upper Gi. I think it is more sore muscles than anything else.

Well I am a revision, september 10th, and I had this pain in my left shoulder/neck on and off for the 5 years with the band. I thought that it would go away with the sleeve but it hasn't. I don't know if it is a sign of fullness as I don't get it all the time. This may sound strange but I remember hearing somewhere that there is a nerve that runs that is associated with the stomach. I don't know, maybe I dreamt this but if so it could make sense in my case as I have had it with both surgeries; if the nerve is pinched it would stay that way.

The shoulder is referred pain from the diaphragm I think. I had shoulder pain a few days post op but then it went. Not had it since.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
