Gas pain after several weeks post surgery

Hi folks,

Everything is going great since my March 11 surgery. There are a couple things I didn't expect. I am eating a lot more than I thought I would (even after my first fill). I know I've got to find my "green zone," it's just been a little surprising. I am going down every week (very slowly), but my surgeon says I'm doing great.

Okay, here's the deal: I STILL have left shoulder pain (mostly it's at night) from the gas!!! It goes away when I lie down, then when I wake up, I don't have it at all (until evening time). WHAT GIVES??? I am two months out of surgery. This seems odd to me. Any ideas? My surgeon did not seem worried at all, but he's not the one with the left shoulder pain! LOL

@@jaybro, I don't have that every day, but I do still have a left shoulder pain occasionally. It always surprises me, because I thought it would be completely gone by now. I was banded March 13. However, it does not last long and does not hurt as much as immediately post surgery.
