I had my surgery yesterday! I feel pretty good but the gas pain is a killer. I have been wallking, taking gas x, and heating pad on my shoulder! Whatelse can i try ? Its really bad right now and i am hurting!

I dealt with the same exact thing. I remember waking up in the recovery room and the only pain I complained about was my shoulder. I did the same things you did. Really all I can say is keep doing what you're doing and you will be fine in a couple days. I am 1 week post-op and I have no more gas pains.

The first few days are the hardest....sorry if that doesn't help.

Focus on the fact that you have taken a big and important step to change your life. The growing pains are worth it.

Just keep walking. As annoying as it is to hear, it's the only thing that works.
