Hi all,
I had my sleeve on 1/10/14 and I've had left shoulder pain since. Has anyone else experienced this?

    It's probably gas pain, but you should call your doctor's office if it's persistent.

    my surgery was 1/7/14 I had the same pain and was worried but it I used a heating pad and it eased up after 2-3days. I also watched how I slept and propped myself up on a lot of pillows!

    The pain is normal, it's gas pain. Intra-abdominal air from the laproscopic surgery gets trapped and refers pain to the shoulder area. Walk, walk, walk and walk a little more, lol. It's annoying but goes away it's just trapped and the more you move the quicker it moves. Even if it's short distances ever bit helps.

    Classic post surgery gas. WALK, WALK, WALK! Best way to feel better.
