Hello Forum,

Question??? I had my band done on 9/19...up until Friday the only pain I had was sharp pains in my left shoulder...does anyone know what would have been causing this and will this be a recurring thing?

THAT'S GAS!!!!! You are having the classic gas pains. I had very little topical pain in the area of my incisions, but the gas pain was pretty severe and for me lasted about two weeks. All that air pumped into your abdomen for the surgery is floating around in your body and trying to get out. Mine would go under my left shoulderblad and up the left side of my neck. Walking, heating pad and gas-x help.
