Ever since I had my first fill on Tuesday the 27th of October, i have had that same dang shoulder pain I had after surgery.. Is it possible to get the gas pain after fills? Has anyone else experienced this? :Yawn:

I had one instantly after my second fill. As soon as they let me up off the table, it started feeling better. By the time I walked out to my car, it was gone. The PA that gave it to me said that sometimes it happens and should go away very quickly.

Well good .. At least I am not nuts.. Mine didnt happen until 4 days later... I had to take pain meds it hurt so bad, and the only time i have had to take pain meds is with this shoulder pain, both times...

No, not nuts!!! I haven't had a fill, but I have the same pain in the shoulder whenever I eat that one or two bites too many.

I've been banded for three months and this has been going on all that time.The pain sometimes lasts for an hour or maybe even two!

I'd like to know what's going on, too!

Hope I can help. That shoulder pain is called referred pain meaning it is referred from somewhere else. Things move around as the human embryo develops and nerves slide across each other as the baby grows. The most common area of referred pain for the diaphragm and lower esophagus/upper stomach is the shoulders, usually left. (Its like how left arm or jaw pain can signal a heart attack)

I get some pretty bad left shoulder pain if I over eat. I try to eat slowly and occasionally I take a deep breath to push the diaphragm down onto my pouch...if I feel a little ping in that left shoulder...I know I better quit eating....OK last night I had real pain in both shoulders after an encounter with Halloween candy!!

O love my referred pain, its the bitch slap I need!!!
