Hey guys-I just had my band put in Thursday. Is it normal for my shoulders to hurt? It feels like a pinched nerve.

Welcome! Who did your surgery?

Yes, its normal. Sometimes the gas gets trapped up there, it should ease up some in the next week. Also you might want to try some gas-x strips.

My shoulders hurt now when I start to get full. I have read that its one of those nerve things from the band being close to my diaphram.

I hope everything else is going well!!

And walking helps, a lot! The more you move, the more the gas moves.
