moder 0 Posted May 5, 2008 Received my band on April 28th. Dr. Rohrer did the surgery. I am only a week into the program and have experinced the same pain problem in my shoulder. I was told it was to be expected. Guess I am normal? I need to loose about 75lbs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lpnryyz 13 Posted May 6, 2008 yes.... shoulder pain is common.... i had mine done on the 29th as well and once you started getting rid of the gas (little burps and farts) it gets easier.... i was so bummed up that i had to take milk of magnesia and now i'm ok.....
