I'm 16 days post and today I felt a WEIRD kinda pain three times on my shoulder... Could this be GAS?!!

I'm going on 10mths out and still get the shoulder pain. It's a sign that I had enough. It's your full pouch pressing on the vegus nerve.

I doubt it, it's the first one I feel this pain.

maddy is right

it could also be from eating too fast or too much (another band sign to slow it down)..i am 14 months post op and it happens every now and then

The shoulder pain is from eating too much or too fast..I get it every now and then ..I am 8 months post op.

Can being hungry give me this pain? I was HUNGRYyyyyy when it happened. That would be a good thing, because sometimes I forget to eat

I had bad left shoulder pain for 2.5 weeks after surgery. I rarely get it anymore, but once in awhile.....ZING!

I had my band out about 8 years ago and I had left shoulder pain off and on all day yesterday. In your case, your Vagus nerve is probably irritated. In mine, it's because the Vagus nerve has been damaged badly.

It's normal to have the referred pain off and on for a bit after surgery. If it doesn't subside after a month or so, definitely speak with your surgeon so you don't sustain damage.
