OK...November Nymphs I have a question. I am still experiencing left shoulder pain. Now, I can't seem to figure it out because it comes and goes. Most of the time it happens when I am sitting and standing actually alleviates the pain. Now, I have read that shoulder pain could mean you are full but my pain is happening not when I am eating.

So is anyone having the same issue? Would love to hear from you. I did talk with my surgeon who indicated that it is possible that the band is sitting on the diaphram (nerve) that goes to the shoulder. I gotta tell you though it feels like I have a toothache and I have had to take pain meds more than once for it.

I hope it is not a permanent issue because I think I will have cut it off. LOL:omg:

I still get a twinge of pain in my left shoulder. It's barely noticeable but I'm aware of it. I think I read that some people have it for months or even longer. It's not gas -- it's referred pain. The nerves in the vicinity of the stomach stretch up to the shoulder so we're feeling in the shoulder pain from when they messed with our stomachs, if that makes sense.

Hollyberries, when was your surgery again? I had the same pain on and off I'd say for a month after surgery. Mine would happen when I was driving a lot and hungry, the combination - but I think it was mostly the sitting and driving. I'm not sure why it happened only in the car, but there you go. Now that I'm thinking of it, it hasn't happened in a while, but I have heard some people having it for a long time. It's awful, isn't it?

Holy smoke! When it comes on it is completely out of the blue. Wish there was some rhyme or reason to it. Funny things is it comes on when I have to go workout (LOL).

Hello,

I too have been having a lot of shoulder pain, almost daily since surgery. I asked my doc about it last night and he asked if i had other symptoms, i said no, so he suggested we could take look under florospocy, but i said i will wait it out...but yeah, it comes and goes with no rhyme or reason, although mostly when i am hungery...It is annoying!!!!

I also still get that pain ocassionally. It isn't too bad. It is actually more annoying than painful. I hope it stops soon.
