Early on it can be caused from the gas they used during surgery. Be sure you are walking ALOT and OFTEN. His is the only wAy to rid your body of the gas. If you're not stil early in post-op.. I don't know the reason for the pain

If you just had surgery it's the CO2 gas, it migrates up to the left shoulder. It's common.

Yes I just had surgery on May 28.

When will this pain go away. It hurts like hell.

Not sure what hurts worse the gas , the nausea or this pain in my shoulder / neck

Thank you for the fast replays. I was really scared . And my doctor hasn't called be back.

Gotta love Vegas. Lol

Mine last maybe 4-5 days after surgery. They sent me home with pain killers so that helped alot:)

For me there was still a faint twinge even 10 days post-op. it's gone now. Heating pad works very well, as does walking. Plus walking will help all of the anesthesia leave your system and get your body's systems moving. And protect you from blood clots, hopefully.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
