I know shoulder pain is associated with the band (gas in the stomach) when can I expect this to go away? I am day 5 post op. Seems to be worse when my tummy growls.

Taking the gasX. And walking. Any other help or suggestions?

Mine took close to a week to go away. I suddenly realized the pain was gone! It would come and go and was pretty severe at times. I took tylenol but don't know if it really helped or not. It did seem to be associated with eating or drinking. Sorry, no words of wisdom.

Hi i am 14 day post up. I experience the same concern u have. At my 7 day post off, I was in more pain this day then i was the day i had surgery. My Dr. Told me it wàs normal and everyone heal at different pace. I can tell u now I feel no pain, not even gas pain. Heating pad helped me a lot. I also did a little more walking that helped.

I wish you all the best...I know you will do exceedingly ànd above all that u can ask 4 for

I had left shoulder pain for a good two weeks; maybe more. The best thing you can do is walk around, but it just has to run its course....however long that is. Even now, more than two years post op, I'll get left shoulder pain if I eat too much, too fast.
