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!
