I haven't had the shoulder pain. I hear it's mostly contributed to the air in the abdomen. Some people get it when they are hungry and some get it when they are full too :thumbup:

OMG! I was so angry with myself for not speaking to my surgeon about this during my 2 week postop checkup.

I thought I pulled a muscle... I had no idea this was common!

I'm AMAZED!

For me it is not very frequent, and I notice that it's when I'm really hungry or have eaten too fast.

I can't believe this! I have had MRI's, nerve conduction studies, injections, and heart tests for this left shoulder pain!!! I have only mentioned the shoulder pain to my surgeon a couple of times (but got no feedback at all). I am calling my surgeon back tomorrow, something has got to be done. I have pain in my shoulder everyday, just about, to some degree. Sometimes it is excrutiating. I have never looked through the site until now, but you can bet I will from now on. Go figure...

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
