Curvy Girl 140 Posted October 5, 2012 I am six weeks out and FULL OF QUESTIONS today....(thank God for this forum) After I've been eating I get this sharp pain in my shoulder/neck. I think it is a trigger to tell me I need to stop but I'm not sure. Anyone get this? Or does anyone know what this is? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grek79Ital 18 Posted October 5, 2012 I was told by my surgeon it could be gas pains....He has told me that patients have explained of chest, arm, shoulder, neck and etc pain. Are you taking anything for gas? Like Gas X ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mztialady 38 Posted October 5, 2012 I am only 4 days out but i get this pain in my side. I think it's from the horrible vomitting on day 2 after my upper Gi. I think it is more sore muscles than anything else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Threetimesacharm 1,400 Posted October 5, 2012 Well I am a revision, september 10th, and I had this pain in my left shoulder/neck on and off for the 5 years with the band. I thought that it would go away with the sleeve but it hasn't. I don't know if it is a sign of fullness as I don't get it all the time. This may sound strange but I remember hearing somewhere that there is a nerve that runs that is associated with the stomach. I don't know, maybe I dreamt this but if so it could make sense in my case as I have had it with both surgeries; if the nerve is pinched it would stay that way.

Tealover 46 Posted October 5, 2012 The shoulder is referred pain from the diaphragm I think. I had shoulder pain a few days post op but then it went. Not had it since. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
