It takes time. Walking helps your body reabsorb it faster, some find a heating pad helps relieve some of the discomfort too.

I've been walking a ton since surgery and going to.the gym every day since 3 days post op thinking it Would help some but its def. Not...

I had left shoulder pain with gas and I am 11 days out. I still get it once to twice a day. I try hard to eat and drink slowly so I can reduce gas.

I was also banded on 28th and have found the shoulder pain the worst part so far! I have been drinking peppermint tea which is supposed to disperse the bubbles and it has been more bearable today - hope it wont last too much longer!

Me, too! Gas pain has been the worst part! Help!

I'm 4 days post-op and gas pain in my belly and shoulder is nearly unbearable. I get up and move around and my new best friend is my heating pad. I hope this goes away soon. Also has anyone else experienced a headache? Day 2 and nothing seems to touch it..

I was banded on the 27th.....today is the first day no pain in my shoulder:)

First day with no shoulder pain - hurrah!! Hope it stays that way. Can anyone recommend a multivitamin? Ive had difficulty finding a liquid multivitamin to take and have resorted to baby vitamin drops just to get something in!

well, i had surgery on a wed and my shoulder starting hurting on sat/sun. it lasted a good 5 or 6 days and then one day i woke up and it was gone. as missy says, heating pad worked wonders (as did a hot shower directly on my shoulder) but took pain meds to help with that pain, that is for sure. def hurt pretty bad. but it will get better (each day). congrats on your surgery and i wish you all the best.

It's seems like I'm more hungry that before.....why?
