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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
