I am getting that as well. It is from the gas they blow our bellies up with during the surgery. It takes a few days to work its way through your system. Walking is the best thing to help move it around.

I had mine on April 1 and I am still having some terrible left shoulder pain.....I am going to get staples out with the surgeon today and am planning on talking to him about it because it is really horrible pain.....I will hopefully get some answers.

I also had mine on the 7th, I didn't start getting the pain until yesterday...... It was sooo bad last night I couldn't take it. What has helped is holding my left arm up over my head and pulling it with my right arm. I have had previous surgeries and it doesn't feel like the gas pains I have had in the past. I am going for my post op tomorrow and hope to get some answers.....

Well, I went today for my one week. It is referred pain from my diaphragm. Take smaller swallows, don't take big bites of Jello................. I did mention that this even happens in the evening when I am not eating or drinking. He asked to me to write down when it was happening and what I was doing.

I was banded on march 14 and also had a Hernia repair. I had terrible pains in shoulders and chest. I called the doctor and they said it was from the hernia repair. It took 3 weeks before it got better.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
