Well the pain on your lef shoulder comes from the diaphragm muscles... they say it happens to almost everyone. I had it really bad after my surgery. But now I am 3 weeks post-op and have pain on the left side of my neck. Does anyone know what this is?

Funny you should ask, I just got off the phone with my doc office and they said that pain on the neck which feels likes tightening and needles is the band contracting. They said it will take time for that to go away. OUCH, I hate it!

i got banded last week, 4/2, and have also had the pain in the neck (left).

hopefully it will go away, it can be somewhat debilitating and distracting.

My little sis is a surgical nurse and told me that the shoulder pain is common in laproscopic procedures. I am almost two weeks out and still have the shoulder tightening every once in a while.

Thanks for that article! I am so glad to know that me still having pretty serious pain in my left shoulder even 1.5 weeks out isn't unusual!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
