Everyone is different. This is something that is a total mistery to me because I have had my band 1yr 1/2 and I am still dealing with left shoulder pain. I have been to my regular doctor about it many times and they took x rays and it hurts really bad at times like someone is sticking a needle in my shoulder. I never had this pain before my band and the only thing they can figure out is it is a re routed type sensation connected to the placement of my band. It hurts when I try to eat and it gets stuck then it starts to ache really something bad. It went away after the surgery for awhile but I still have it sometimes on a daily basis. It is the only side effect that has been really uncomfterable since my band placement. I love the weight loss and the band as a tool but I DO NOT like having this pain in my left shoulder. You should feel relief after a few weeks of surgery. But I can't tell you if it will completely go away. I ask others all the time about the pain and some do not have it at all and others have a little. I don't know why I get it a lot. I usually pop an advil or stronger if needed. I still love my band and hope the pain will subside with time................time will tell!

Give it a few days. I am 15 or so days out and feel no pain.

Thank you so much for your reply. I guess time will tell. Did you also get banded by Dr. Kelly?
