Sore shoulder...leak?



Recommended Posts

Hello. I was sleeved on 9/29 and have had a relatively easy recovery. I feel great. But in the last two or three days I have noticed that my shoulders are becoming sore. Mainly when I do things, but even minor things like hold big my purse or even texting. It is mainly

My left shoulder, but my right as well. I am left handed and therefore using my left shoulder more. I am going to call my doctor when they have office hours this afternoon, but does this sound like a symptom of a leak? Or maybe just weakness?

The bariatric nurse I spoke to yesterday says that gas pains are felt in the left shoulder from redirected pain. That there isn't anything you can take for that left shoulder pain because it's not really pain. does that makes sense? Could that be it?

Severe, excruciating pain (usually chest, shoulder, abdominal), racing heart, dizziness and a high fever. Sounds like you have gas pains, have you been taking your Gas-X strips or chewables? Those things save me hehe.

I've had those same symptoms from surgery where they blow your abdomen with gas.

Shoulder pain is something else. I've had it for 2 days now.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
