Shoulder Pain

I had surgery on Sept 2, 2013 (sleeve) I still have left shoulder pain when eating. Anyone else have this problem?

Hi freckles3,

If you have not done so, please call your doctor. You may also want to post this on the Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy Forum (VSG).

Freckles,

Shoulder pain can be indicative of gallbladder disease/gallstones.  Not an uncommon problem post operatively.  Call your doctor ASAP as Member Services suggests.

We are patients not physicians.  It's their job so look into our problems.

Good luck,

It can also be a sign that you are eating too fast or taking too big of bites. Slow down, chew chew chew, but also let your doctor know.
