In Pain advice needed

I am feeling tightening in my throat again and now I am having severe right shoulder pain. I read in some other threads that shoulder pain can be gas but I have not eaten yet today and I dont feel like I have gas. The pain is so bad and it burns. I am having an upper GI tomarrow but I dont know if I can wait that long with the pain. Can this indicate a band slippage problem? I am really concerned about that since I dont feel restriction.

I had my upper GI today several things happened. The Doctor who did the upper GI said my stomach didnt look overly large whatever that means and it didnt look like anything slipped. But when I talked to my lap band nurse she said regular doctors and band doctors have different ideas on what the size of the stomach should be and what a slip looks like. So innitally I thought I was in the clear but now I guess I am not. I will keep u posted on that later. The other thing that they said was that the symptoms I am having with the pain on the right side ect and even the feeling of swelling in my throat seemed to indicate a Gal Bladder problem. So I wonder how long I can go without seeing the doctor for that. Money is a issue. So I guess I will just have to wait until I cant stand it anymore or I can afford it. Will let u know more later
