Intense pain in left shoulder, still gas?
wendy5391 replied to Dia's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks guys for your replies. The pain is not constant. It does come daily though. It did start right after the sx so that is why I know it is related. I am waiting to see my general practioner and then he will hopefully get me the referral. I have only lost 50 lbs, but I havent done the program. No excercise and I truthfully havent eaten the right foods. I am happy though, I couldnt have done it without the sx. -
Intense pain in left shoulder, still gas?
wendy5391 replied to Dia's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ok here we go again. I am over two years now and still having extreme left neck and radiatind shoulder pain. In fact my neck swells a little. I asked the bariatric doc and he doesnt have a clue. He says maybe it is the diaphram thing. Well ok that ndoesnt do me any good. I want something done. This is miserable. Can someone tell me what I can do or say to get the ball rolling on this painful situation... Thanks:sad_smile: -
Left Shoulder Pain After Lap Band Surgery

I talked to the doc who does my fills. He says it is the fill line that is touching my diaphram. I alsp talked to another doctor who is just a general practioner and he said it is the line that touches the nerve that runs along the shoulder and the neck. I would definately talk to your surgeon and tell him the severity of your problem. I will most likely ease up but probably never go away. Hope you feel better soon and good luck. -
Left Shoulder Pain After Lap Band Surgery

I wish you luck on your tummy tuck.. I know for a fact that it is a side effect from the surgery because I never had this symptom before. I am just so tired of it I decided to look on the computer and see if anyone else had this problem and frankly I am shocked. I am happy I am not the only one but like I said I dont wish this on anyone. Do me a favor, if they do find out what it is let me know -
Left Shoulder Pain After Lap Band Surgery

:sneaky: I am almost 2 years out and I still have the pain. In fact my neck even swells a bit. I notice I get it more if I havent eaten, however I do get it often. I can actually pinch the nerve that is causing the pain. Weird huh. I went to the doctor and she said it sounds like an air bubble or pocket of some sort. Gosh if I only knew. It isnt fun. I am glad I know there are others with the problem but I am sorry you are all suffering with me
