Please, any time you are having unexplained pain, please call your doc!

I'm not a doctor, but even a week out from surgery, the pain you are describing could still be gas pains. Are you taking liquid GAS-X or something similar to that? Try a heating pad under your shoulder, or wherever it feels good to you. Try a warm bath. Move around, walk. It took a full two weeks for me to be free of the gas pains in my body. They are not just contained in the intestines!

I know it is uncomfortable...you will feel better soon, though! Hang in there, and call the doc if it doesn't improve!

All of these feels are normal , But you should consult you Doctor I not only had pain her it went in to my shoulder the Doctor said it was gas.Good luck

Called doctor and he said what I was feeling was indeed NORMAL. I guess I do not associate pain with NORMAL. But oh well A girls gotta do what a girls gotta do and for me that is weight loss.
