Post-op 6 days..will the pain in my shoulder ever go away. I can't stand it. Any tips, how to deal with it. Is it normal..the pain in my stomach has gone down..yay, for that..

I have the same problem in my shoulder as well. I even have a pain in the middle of my stomach above my incision. It feels like a tight pull, when I breathe or yawn. It feels like if there's something stuck. It comes and goes. Sometimes I clamp on to a pillow, so it wont hurt. Hope this ends soon. Did anyone have that feeling?. I'm post op 5 days since surgery

Thanks..this morning I woke up with alot of gas, and burping like crazy. I thought the pain I was feeling in my chest, was cuz something went wrong with the band. I did rush to the Dr and he told me it was the healing process..he loosened the band all the way out, until I heal more. Then, I drive myself nuts by reading all the horror stories online about the band, and I freak out. Second guessing myself about the surgery, did I make a mistake. Its crazy

Did the pain on your chest feel like it was close to your stomach/incision like when you took a breath..cux that's what I'm experiencing, and pain in my shoulder. My surgery was 4 days ago..im worried, but hope this is normal and will go away.

I had mine 4 days ago, and I have shoulder pain and also I have like a pain by the band part of my stomach, when I swallow or take a breath. Not sure if this is sore or it hurts, really. Is this normal. I pray you get better, cuz it is an ugly feeling. They did tell me to walk..

I actually went to the dr today, and discussed this with him. He loosened the band all the way, and said the discomfort/pain was me still getting use to the band. That it would be a couple of days, everyone heals differently. I'm still worried though.

Hi all, new to the group. I just had my surgery 4 days ago, and I wad wondering about all the pain. I feel a tight pain in my stomach, when I yarn, hiccup or take a deep breath. Is this normal? I also have discomfort in my left shoulder. I'm feeling discouraged now..help
