Hunger pains on left shoulder



Recommended Posts

So my left shoulder tells ALL. It lets me know when I'm full.....and now it lets me know when I'm hungry. Uggggg

Yes I know why and I know all about the nerve, but it's really very annoying. It hurts a lot and too often. I've had more success controlling it by never over eating, but at 5am it's KILLING me due to hunger I guess.

Anyone else?

I have left shoulder pain, too. When they took me into the operating room and strapped me down they had my arms strapped outward to either side. When I woke up after surgery my left shoulder was screaming in pain. It has been hurting to some degree or another ever since. I had a serious bout of tendonitis in my left shoulder last summer. I assumed that having my arms tied like that brought it on again. Maybe not? I'll have to ask my surgeon next week at my six week follow-up...

You may have something else going on other than hunger. You may need a shoulder MRI. Also physical therapy to keep it from freezing.

I had that pain with the lapband it went away after the revision, but I have felt it once or twice since. It's annoying and very painful. If u think its related to hunger try drinking/eating to see if it helps. Make sure u talk with the doc about it! ;)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
