Hunger pains on left shoulder



Recommended Posts

So my left shoulder tells ALL. It lets me know when I'm full.....and now it lets me know when I'm hungry. Uggggg

Yes I know why and I know all about the nerve, but it's really very annoying. It hurts a lot and too often. I've had more success controlling it by never over eating, but at 5am it's KILLING me due to hunger I guess.

Anyone else?

I have left shoulder pain, too. When they took me into the operating room and strapped me down they had my arms strapped outward to either side. When I woke up after surgery my left shoulder was screaming in pain. It has been hurting to some degree or another ever since. I had a serious bout of tendonitis in my left shoulder last summer. I assumed that having my arms tied like that brought it on again. Maybe not? I'll have to ask my surgeon next week at my six week follow-up...

You may have something else going on other than hunger. You may need a shoulder MRI. Also physical therapy to keep it from freezing.

I had that pain with the lapband it went away after the revision, but I have felt it once or twice since. It's annoying and very painful. If u think its related to hunger try drinking/eating to see if it helps. Make sure u talk with the doc about it! ;)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
