Thank you, I did call Dr. Ortiz and he told me what I was experiencing was not gas pain but muscle soreness from the port, referring pain to my shoulder area. Thanks Laurie

Hi, I had my lap band surgery on Oct 20, 2008. The following week after surgery I had a lot of, what I was told, was gas pain up under my left collar bone and shoulder area. It has now been 4 weeks. The pain comes and goes, comes when I eat, goes when I don't. Some things are extremely painful (strawberries) while the rest of food is just painful. The pain goes away if I don't eat anything for about 4 hours and I never have it when I wake up but as soon as I eat---- OUCH!!!!!!!! I have tried Beano and gas ex but no relief. Is this supposed to be happening and if it is what can I do to relieve the pain? If it is not any suggestions? Thanks for any help Laurie
