Heating pad and moving. My shoulder pain hung on for more than a week, though it did lessen each day.

My gas kept making me burp..putting arms over head and walking helped move it.

All of the above and taking gas-x really helped me.....and my boyfriend massaged my shoulder lots, it stopped hurting while me massaged it, but the pain came back when he was done. It will get better though!

It's slightly better tonite but I can't burp to save my life! Lol. The pain seems to be moving across my chest now towards my right shoulder. Is that normal?

Time is the most effective long term cure! As difficult as it is, remember that it is also only temporary and you will get past it.

I was required to have gas x strips with me at the hospital and was given one right after I woke up. I am still taking them (6 days post op)and let me tell u they WORK! I would try them

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
