I had the surgery on Tuesday, May 8th and woke up from the surgery with pain in my left shoulder. The only time it subsides is when I am lying flat. I am still filled with gas throughout my chest and abdomen and even though I am expelling gas, it builds up again very quickly. I wish that the medical professionals had prepared me for this. I thought it would be subsided by now. Every time I have something to eat it builds up again. The surgery incisions are fine and, except for the port site, there is no lingering pain. It's just this gas and it is intense when I move around. Everyone has said to walk, walk, walk which is what i am doing but it doesn't seem to help at all. Any suggestions?
