    I was told walking would also help. I walked several times a day for the first few days, but was in so much pain, could only walk for about 10 min at a time. On a more positive note, my best friend had band and she had absolutely NO shoulder pain!! #jealous. Lol. Everything is different for every person. Good luck!!

    it is caused by residual gases. they use gases to expand your abdomen to perform the procedure, oddly enough the gases move to the shoulder. I had shoulder pain for months!!! I never even thought about my incisions or abdomen hurting because the shoulder pain made me miserable. heat helped mine.

    I had shoulder pain immediately after surgery! It was excruiating and constant for two weeks! Heat seemed to be the only thing to ease, not enough pain meds! I am 13 months out and continue to have it from time to time! Had it yesterday as a matter of fact! Very painful!
