I have been post op lap band surgery since 10/12/11. The doctor repaired a hiatal hernia. I have a lot of gas and my stomach feels very tight at times. i also have alot of pain in my shoulder. Is this normal? What is normal after surgery?

I had the surgery same day with hiatal hernia repair, as well. I have pain in my chest from the hernia repair. I have had a lot of gas, too. Not too much pain in my shoulder. I'll go back to the doc on Tuesday.

hi! I have not had surgery yet but I have heard that the shoulder pain is from the gas that is used to plow up in surgery. Hope you feel better soon. Good luck with your journey.

I had my surgery on 9/26 and also had a hiatal hernia repair. I experienced similar pains and I believe it's normal. It has since pretty much all went away. Hang in there!

My pain was/is between my shoulder blades feels like a knife stuck in my back. I had a hernia repair also. I want to know which scar is the hernia repair.
