Sorry, not me. But it's weird that it's your left shoulder. For the past 2 weeks, I've been having pain in my left shoulder, like I dislocated it, but not quite as bad as that. It's very annoying and hurts when I sleep, when I'm active, any movement I make with my left arm. :-( I'm thinking of going to see a chiropractor if it persists.

Please call your doctor, it could be a leak. I hate to even think about a leak being just 7 days out but I am working hard to be extra careful about vomiting and over consuming. Please take care of yourself.

I know EXACTLY what you are talking about! It only happens if I eat too much, though. It's always been that way for me. The key for me is to pay close attention when eating, go slow, and wait in between bites so I can be sure to NOT overdo it.

Surgery November 18, and I had pain in the left shoulder. No pain meds since I came home. Today I had an episode after I ate and swallowed too quickly and I know that it is associated with the episode I had, not any leak. It is just an ache in the shoulder. Strange but not worrying me. Best wishes.

Linda, I just happened to be looking at this thread and saw your post. Sorry to report that that left shoulder pain is from the gas and it can last a lng time. I'm 7 weeks out and still get surprised by it occasionally.

I take a pain pill, but I'm not sure it does much.

I had right shoulder pain once followed by vomiting. The pain was bad. I agree call your physician. Good luck

Does anyone else get pain on their left shoulder when they eat? It gets really painful.. But it then goes away!

Before I had my lap band remove, I would get that pain if I ate too much.

      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?
