I totally understand your pain I was banded May 9, 2013 @ 9:am and the pain took my by surprise, the pain that your feeling from the gas that was out into your body cavity to creat more room so your Doctor can work in such a small space, the gas is the most painful part of the surgery for as well, it will easy up some as the days pass I still dealing with the pain everyday as well but it's not as bad now it's has moved from my shoulder to my neck and in my side, I pray that you feel better and I pray for a healthy healing. Take your mess and ice that area and lift your arm up and down when you feel the pain, but do both arms this is also a way to toned your arms as well:-) walking helps as well. Remember your body has to Absorb the gas it has no way to go but up.
