Is your surgery very recent? Possibly gas pains.

It's been three weeks

Never turning back

After three weeks I wouldn't expect you to still be having gas pains but everyone is different. How often does it occur? Does it happen random times or when you eat something? May want to run it past your Doctor.

Eek. I'm having that pain now and I'm only 4days post op. Please god, don't let this continue for that long!!!!!!!! Good luck to u! Hope ur pains ends very soon!!!!

Walking really does help a lot with the gas pain in the shoulder.

I am having the exact pain 6 days post op...I also had a hernia repair as well. I hear that the surgery alone aggravates a specific nerve that is connected to the shoulder. I would imagine that it cld continue for awhile...but I hope not!

I would check w your Dr because that nerve cld still be the issue.

Good Luck!

I'm 4 days post-op and I'm having the same pain. It's not all the time. I hope it goes away soon for us all !!!

Luckily I took some pain med around 7 last night and a gas x, and hubby rubbed my back a but, It worked. I was Afraid I was gonna have to sleep standing up!! today I'm feeling good and HAPPY to be on full liquid!! Woohoo!!

Liquid tylenol helps most people and WALKING definitely is the best thing for gas pains. Gas-x has worked for some and not for others. That pain can be so intolerable. I had it with the lap band and luckily it only lasted a few days and it was at least tolerable with meds and walking. When i had my gallbladder removed though.......it was so bad I had to go back to the hospital and be admitted for 2 days for pain control (and a few other complications). Call your doc though, because 3 weeks out seems a little far out to still be having gas pains. Unless it's intermittent with what you're eating.

I used to have a pain in my shoulder when I was eating too much. My doctor explained mine as somehow a nerve was being stimulated by my diaphragm. (I can't remember the details.) After I quit having too much food at a meal, it stopped and has never returned. Maybe yours is related to lingering swelling in that area? Not sure - just trying to be helpful.

i had good shoulder pain from like day 3/4 to day 8 post op. i find that on occasion, i sometimes feel a pain in my left shoulder now. it doesnt last long but i can feel it. it was the same as my post op pain and the shoulder. i must move it around and if i am bothered, take some liquid tylenol. i sure hope you feel better soon .

@carolinagirl I had lapband with plication too... how soon did you DR give you a fill? I thought they would wait for my wieght loss to slow down( we are expected to lose a lot in the begiining due to the smaller stomach) and then start the fills I am only 5 Dy post op and I am waiting to weigh myself on the 30th at my DR appt but I was wondering how long your DR waited to begin your fills. thanks

I'm having the same problem. I am almost 2 weeks out. My surgeon said that the gas pain can stick around for awhile. But it is killllllling me.

Now I am having pains in my left shoulder and under my left rib cage. I am taking Gas X and walking. It's very frustrating and even hurts to take a deep breath!! I so want this gas pain to end!!!!!! 7 days is long enough!!!
