Lap band shoulder pain

[Green1 16]

I'm getting a slight pain in my left shoulder. Apparently when I drink something that is carbonated I feel it. It may not be a big deal for me but has anyone had this kind of problem? Also if anyone has followed my posts I still have the intense cramping. It feels like soreness and I'm very confused with this.

It's most likely gas pains from the carbonation. Are you allowed carbonated drinks with lapband? If you have cramping still - you need to have the band and port checked. Call your surgeon.

I don't think you should be drinking carbonated liquids. This will surely give you gas where you don't need it! How long has it been since surgery?

Its been about 2 and a half years since my surgery. Still having cramping and soreness in my abdominal.

Wait til you have a beer. You'll think you tore a muscle. Found this happens when I'm under a lot of stress
