Pain On Left Side

[erica143 0]

Hi my name is Erica I just got the band a little over two weeks ago. I wanted to know if anyone else has experienced a pain on your left side under the shoulder? It seems to me it is some type of had pain but idk , it wakes me up in the middle of the night. It does not feel like heartburn at least not Luke what I use to have. Any help would be great.

Thanks.

I have the same pain. I was banded yesterday. It's from the gas they use during surgery. I was told laying flat and arms up helps; along with a heating pad. And if you can burp that helps too.

Gas x , heating pad and walking will help. I am 3 weeks out and still get it occasionally. Good luck.

Thanks guys. I thought maybe there was still some of the air but I wasn't sure.

It can also be referred pain, according to my surgeon, from moving your diaphragm during surgery.

Either way, it does eventually pass.
