Back to liquids only! This isn't good - support please

Well, I've been having this horrible pain in my shoulder that makes my left arm extremely weak, and at this point I don't think it's gas (banded 4/21/11). I called my doctor and he put me back on fluids only. This is gonna be bad :( and I'm so discouraged right now........just asking for good vibes and words of encouragement sent my way please!!!!! thank you in advance

What is the saying...This too shall pass....

I didn't have gas right away with my surgery and had aches and pains weeks after surgery. Almost a year later and I get twinges from time to time. Gas happens even now and it is painful. It will get better!!

OH I had the gas in the shoulder..badly..The BEST way to remove that gas..

is to MOVE..

I walked in circles in my house ( I was banded in December), just short little walks, and lo and behold the gas does go.

When you have your surgery, they fill your belly with gas, sometimes the gas goes into spaces it shouldn't..and that most likely is your pain..

Take some deep cleansing breaths..

this too shall pass!!
