I have had my band about a year and have done fairly well. When my band is tight, I often have shoulder pain (much like after surgery when you are trying to get the gas to move). It does not matter if my stomach is empty of I have just eaten. Has anyone else experienced this and was there anything you do that gives you relief? I really do not want to have my band loosened.

Hi Wulfjen, i am no big expert, i havnt even had a band fitted yet, but i have been reading extensively with great intrigue and appreciation the different threads throughout the forum. There is a thread you might want to investigate dedicated specifically to this problem filled with replys from people who have varying degrees of the same problem in the complications area.

Here is a link: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f78/left-shoulder-pain-36357/

I hope this helps,

Love Dune
