I've read that some people get shoulder pain when they eat too much. But I've started HS ing left shoulder pain twice when I was hungry. Not sure why I'm getting this shoulder pain

Never heard of that before. If you ask your doc and learn why, let us know.

I also have shoulder pain if I eat to fast or eat something I probably shouldn't have.

People experiencing left-shoulder gas pain often think heart attack because of the pain being on the left side. I have no guess about nausea and dry heaves. Blood pressure changes on a dime and it's not uncommon for it elevate when we're upset.

That said, I'm no physician. There are times that I think "heart" when I have left-shoulder pain. You're concerned enough that a call to your surgery practice might be a good thing just to put your mind at ease. Peace of mind goes a long way, especially since you seem to be newly banded.

I have had this. Its as soon as Ive eaten too much. It has the delightful feeling like my stomach is choking. It's a blockage at the band and have been told it has to do with your stomach tightening.

You'll be OK. Watching for the symptoms of being full.

It wasnt related to eating too much as it happened before I needed to eat. I think it had to do with the position I was in. But happened when sitting and lying on my side. Hasn't happened again.

@@wincha looks like you just had surgery? If that's the case it could be residual gas pains from surgery. If that is the case moving can and will definitely help things.
