Any heard of pain in neck/shoulders area?



Recommended Posts

I'm not talking about the usual left shoulder pain. This is more in the back of the neck and across shoulders. A recent bandster asked me about it. Any ideas??

That can still be gas pains, even it it's long after surgery! Gas can put pressure on nerves and then it's OUCH time. Moving around and heat over the painful area is still probably the best reaction.

Hi:

I had pain across my shoulders with sharper pain on right side about nine months after banding. Turns out it was my gallbladder. Got it removed and pain was gone.

When I was first adjusting my band I was getting filled too quickly with large fills. I kept getting adjusted too tight. During this time I had extreme neck and shoulder pain. This would occur especially when I ate or drank anything. Once they relieved the tightness it went away. I eventually had to get slower fills after three complete unfills. Doc finally figured out normal fills don't work for me.:)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
