I had surgery 2/8 and I can keep liquids down and am fine but I have this pressure and pain in my back right between shoulder blades. Directly behind the area between my breasts. Is this telling me I over did it?

I had the same thing, and assumed it was still trapped gas. I took some Tylenol and felt better the next day. Good luck!

Diaphragmatic irritation can result in pain that radiates to the shoulder. When they do a sleeve surgery, they routinely correct the opening through your diaphragm so the new tube stomach won't slip up into your chest. It is very common to feel pain in the back of the shoulder after a surgery involving the diaphragm like sleeve surgery. It will be better in a few days as it heals. I had a big ole hiatal hernia fixed with my sleeve surgery...and I feel your pain.

Can this pain be on the top of the shoulder? I also had a hiatal hernia fixed with my sleeve on 2/1 and I have pain on the top of my shoulder like between the shoulder and neck. I am going for my first follow up today so I plan on asking my surgeon when I am there.

I had shoulder pain during my gallbladder attack. I hope it's nothing serious!

Doc said mine is due to the hiatal hernia repair that was done during my sleeve surgery.

My pain was left shoulder blade area and neck, they told me it was either gas or referral pain when I was in the hospital. It took a good few weeks for it to stop completely.
