I struggle with this up until 7 weeks post op. If I eat too much my left shoulder and neck hurt. Dr. Richard said he had heard of that before but did not elaborate on it. I guess this is my sign to stop eating when the least bit of pain starts in my shoulder...The pain is horrible. Best of luck and I hope it goes away sooner for you.

I had this pain too, I bought a patch from Walmart. Like a heat patch, and it took the pain away.

_{I had it really bad it was me eating too fast or drinking too fast. I would get up and walk around the block. it will feel better after a short walk}

I believe what you are experiencing is referred pain. My doctor explained that the nerves on the top of your stomach run to your left shoulder. Anyway, I had it BAD and wondered if I would have to live like this the rest of my life. Fortunately, it did subside and I rarely have any shoulder or neck pain.

It should get better
