Left Shoulder Pain?



Recommended Posts

Curious if anyone has experienced left shoulder pain post op?

Most of the time no pain at all, but sometimes I get this dull pain right on my left shoulder that lingers for several minutes.

No numbness or tingling, nor is my heart feeling weird. And I haven't done anything extreme with left arm either. Is this a common thing if I miss on some nutrients or something?

Lap band?? If you have band you need to go see doctor. My pain began when my band slipped

I'm 4 days post op sleeve and I've gotten gas pains in my left shoulder, neck area quite a few times. It's common. It comes and goes, walking and cold compress helps sometimes. It gas so it naturally rises upward and expands, cold causes compression of gas. Hope your better soon.

So if I have a collection gas rising to my shoulder, that could give a false signal that my shoulder is hurting? I guess if it's putting pressure on nerves.

That's good to know about the cold compress!

      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.
