hey guys i had my surgery over 10 months ago or so and i typically find that i still have shoulder pain in my left shoulder, sort of like the pain of gas when i first had the surgery done, well this pain typically comes i guess after i eat "too much" is this the way my band is telling me i ate too much? everytime i take a breath in i feel it, it is bothersome....

anyone experience this? and what can i do about it? sometimes i still am hungry or do not have that full feeling yet when it happens

thanks

Same thing happens to me...i take Gas X and try to remember not to eat too much ...i am still trying to figure out when I feel satisfied and not full...when i feel FULL I get the shoulder pain.

do you typically take the gas x before or after the pain starts?

After... or if I know i have eaten food that gives me gas..

I have this, although its not as often as you have it. It is a shooting pain in my left shoulder at completly random times.At first they said it was gas, then a couple months later they said that there was no way it was gas and was obvioulsy how they positioned me during surgery. Now its been since August and they have referred me to an orthopedic surgeon! I havent had my appt yet, but am curious what they will say.

I get the odd shot of pain like that too.... much like what I had after surgery, and it's so weird. No idea what causes it, no obvious things like after eating or anything... completely random.

(surgery about 11 months ago... so... there shouldn't be any remaining gas!)

I also get the shoulder pain. I have had it this time since last Friday. I hate it. It does seem to come and go though. I will go a couple months without it and them bam its there for a few days. The only thing that relieves it for me is to lay on my side. I can hear and feel the gas moving around inside and if I have time to lay long enough sometimes it will come out. Hope thats not to much info but it is true. I cant wait until it is gone this time. It has never lasted this long beore. VERY ANNOYING!!!! Oh and Gas meds dont work for me at all.
