new shoulder pain



Recommended Posts

Does anyone else get shoulder pain? I'm not sure if its my new fill or if it even has anything to do with my lap band.

I get terrible pain in my left back shoulder. It feels like my muscles are on fire. Usually happens when I eat to much. Gives me a lot of incentive to eat right. I take gas x when it happens but not sure if it helps. Try moving around.

I had that for my first 3mths. It was my soft stop when eating. The minute I got a twinge I had to stop or suffer. After my last fill, it did go away. Bitter sweet, miss the stop signal, but not the pain.

I only had left shoulder pain for 3 days after my surgery. That was the only pain I had. I found a heating pad helped or the "magic bag" you put in the microwave.

I would call your doctor just to check in.

I'm the same, just coming up to my 3 month mark and the pain is getting less and less, however, it sure is a good sign to put my fork down when eating. As soon as I get the first twinge, I'm done with food.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
