12 weeks post op with new issue

[sstark1285 40]

I am 12 weeks post of and doing well. No complications. This past week I started developing gas pains in my shoulder when I eat and they are PAINFUL. I experienced these directly after surgery but now they are back 3 months later but only when i eat. Has anyone experienced this?

I'm still pre-op but do you still have your gall bladder?

Yes still have it.

Slow down when you eat. shoulder pain can be your new indicator that you ate too much

Are you on a NSAID? My doctor prescribed a NSAID to be taken for 30 days after surgery. 3 days after I completed the rx I started having the pain in the shoulder, like you are describing. He has put me back to the prescription until I feel I don't need it any more.

Yes, could be your gallbladder. There is a med you can take (bear liver) to prevent stones, and I guess the shock of your gallbladder not having enough to do... check with your MD.
