Does This Happen To Anyone Else Or Am I The One Oddball?

Ok so I've searched the forums for this but can't find anything. I am 10 weeks post OP and EVERY time I eat my right shoulder hurts like its gas pains, but I thought gas pains could only be on the left side??

I've mentioned it to my doc and they dismissed it quickly, but I don't know what to do about it if anything can be done... Suggestions welcome.

If the pain gets any worst then go to urgent care or the ER. Some people report that they use Gas X strips and that helps with the pain. Better to be safe than sorry. It does sound like you have this covered by talking to your doc.

This far out wouldn't be gas pains. How long does it take for the pain to go away? Some people with gallstones get pain near the shoulder blades and eating can trigger an attack, but there would be other symptoms that are impossible to ignore, horrible pain in the abdomen, etc. I would follow up with the surgeons office if this doesn't go away or if it gets worse.

^{I would definitely get a second opinion. One of the side effects of a leak is constant shoulder pain.}

It's not constant... Just lasts about 20 min after I eat.. Always the same intensity.. Not terrible but it reminds me it's there. Not gallstones bc they removed my gallbladder when I had the surgery.

Thanks for the replies tho.. Any more are appreciated

Your body is probably letting u no that you have over eating try eating slower & asking your self if your satisfied after. 4oz

Are you taking any type of acid blocker? Don't know if that could have anything to do with it. Just a thought

Yeah still on Prevacid daily. I'm thinking its the full thing.. I stopped eating early tonight and it didn't do it. Will keep trying to find out
