Left shoulder pain- causes? remedies?
I had lapband one week ago yesterday. I keep having pain in my left shoulder. Initially it seemed to be gas pains and other times I thought maybe an indicator of eating too much but now even after eating a 1/4 cup of food I'm getting it sometimes much later after eating sometimes right away. I don't feel gasy otherwise.
Anybody else have this? what causes it? What helps?
Thanks!

I never had it, but I recall reading that it is surgical gas, and can take a while to get out of your system. Walking around helps, as does flapping you arms like they are wings (as it was described).
There is a lapband board here on OH. You might want to post the question there to see if anyone can help. It's under forums, surgical, lapband.
Good luck to you!
