Does anyone else get pain on their left shoulder when they eat? It gets really painful.. But it then goes away!

Sorry, not me. But it's weird that it's your left shoulder. For the past 2 weeks, I've been having pain in my left shoulder, like I dislocated it, but not quite as bad as that. It's very annoying and hurts when I sleep, when I'm active, any movement I make with my left arm. :-( I'm thinking of going to see a chiropractor if it persists.

Please call your doctor, it could be a leak. I hate to even think about a leak being just 7 days out but I am working hard to be extra careful about vomiting and over consuming. Please take care of yourself.

I know EXACTLY what you are talking about! It only happens if I eat too much, though. It's always been that way for me. The key for me is to pay close attention when eating, go slow, and wait in between bites so I can be sure to NOT overdo it.

Surgery November 18, and I had pain in the left shoulder. No pain meds since I came home. Today I had an episode after I ate and swallowed too quickly and I know that it is associated with the episode I had, not any leak. It is just an ache in the shoulder. Strange but not worrying me. Best wishes.

Linda, I just happened to be looking at this thread and saw your post. Sorry to report that that left shoulder pain is from the gas and it can last a lng time. I'm 7 weeks out and still get surprised by it occasionally.

I take a pain pill, but I'm not sure it does much.

I had right shoulder pain once followed by vomiting. The pain was bad. I agree call your physician. Good luck

Before I had my lap band remove, I would get that pain if I ate too much.
