I'm not sure. Ive never had severe neck pain after a stuck episode. Hope you're feeling better soon! How long does the pain last? Maybe it's something to discuss with your doc?

Yes, speak with your Dr. He is part of your WL team.

I get pain in my shoulder after eating some times the past few weeks have been bad. Not much helps it, there is a nerve that goes from the stomach to some part of the shoulder not sure of the name right now. It hurts that's for sure!!!

Yes it happens. Usually between my angel wings ( between shoulder blades or upper right or left shoulder.)

It is the Vagus nerve.

I am seven months out now and occasionally get intense left shoulder/neck & back pain associated with food intake that is either too much or too fast. No amount of Tylenol or Motrin helps, you just have to wait it out. As mentioned in earlier posts, it is the result of nerve stimulation at the part of the stomach where the band is placed. Just think of it as an occasional not-so-friendly reminder to slow down and watch your total intake.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
