Horrible shoulder pain Ive been walking and walking and no improvement I will try gas x strips, hopefully that helps ... What else to do?

I had the same kind of pain. Walk, walk, walk and drink Water. It will pass!

oh you poor darling.. I haven't been sleeved yet (another 6 weeks ) but when I had my lapband done I got shoulder tip pain.. Worst pain ever.. I would have rather have given birth to my 6 children again rather than go through that. I really feel for you. I definately agree with Butterfly66, walk walk walk and drink plenty of Water. Also hot pack, I walked around constantly with my hot pack. I have to admit mine lasted for about two weeks, it would come and go though, it does get better .. Hang in there and think of all the reasons why you got the sleeve.. I hope that you feel much better soon. Take care Janette xo

I didn't experience the dreaded shoulder pain phenonomon - but I would imagine if Gas-X and walking don't help, it may just be something that you need to ride out like a bad cold. Sucky advice, I know - but I know you will feel better with each day that passes!!!

Congrats and welcome to the Loser's Bench!

Gas-x won't help because the gas isn't in your intestines. Walking and a heating pad on your shoulder, and you will just have to tough it out. Mine is nearly gone, 8 days post-op. I only feel it when I get up in the morning now.

Nothing helped me but the $30 electric heating pad from Walgreens... But of course walking is a must.
