Keep walking it off, it will go. It normally can last up to a week but the more walking you do the less gas you will have, good luck

That does seem like a long time but for walking and sitting up straight was my saving grace

I was lucky when I had my sleeve 2yrs ago I had no gas at all and had my pass last Thursday and had it in the right shoulder but managed to mall it off. I know that my surgeon says to get the patients up walking within 2hrs, so that maybe helped me

I've walked a lot. Even the hospital staff commented on how much I was doing. I'll talk to my surgeon and see heat he says

I had surgery on tues and having bad gas pains. I've walked and walked but stil no relief. It's way in my lower abdomen. I was having it in the shoulder. If you find something that helps pass along.

Ask the nurse for a heat pad, that may help

I find lying on my left side helps or just pressure on the left side. I'm back at work already so when the pain gets bad I just close my door and lay on my chair with a pillow against my side and that provides some relief

Hi I use a heating pad and gasx strips.

FayeJ..I had a severe pain in my left side that felt like a pinched nerve. I ended up getting checked out and had a PE..

However, they said the pain in your shoulders and between your shoulder blades is normal C2 pain and can last 2 weeks to 2 months..walking will help a lot.
