left shoulder pain after removal of lap-band

I had the lap-band put in in 2005 and removed in 2006 because of the left shoulder pain.  I have had an occasional flare up since the removal but have experienced everyday pain for the last week.  Could scar tissue be causing this?

I believe it is usually damage to the vagus nerve that causes the long term left shoulder pain but I could be wrong. Hopefully Nicci will see this and post she unfortunately is an expert on the left shoulder pain.

I'm glad you "found" me and sent a message. 

I forgot to mention in the message I wrote to you... it could possibly be a side effect of gastritis, as well. Maybe get checked out. I notice that the left shoulder pain comes back when I also have burning in my stomach. I also get a stuffed nose and then start sneezing, sometimes for hours at a time. Have you experienced anything like that at all? 

I was told that I have an abundance of scar tissue from the band, too. So, it could very well be a combination of things or just scar tissue.

I really hope you feel better soon.
