Hi all, I had my band op 20/4/16.

I feel so good in myself everything healing nicely. But my shoulder! I'm climbing the walls! I've tried heat, peppermint tea even gas remedies!

Does anyone please please have any other ideas or could tell me this will stop eventually! If this is a permanent fixture I'm doomed!!

It's been so bad at night it's been reducing me to tears! I've been walking for the last hour and half just to keep it away!

Please help! X

do your best to move around, the pain is from gas trapped in your body. I used a heating pad some and stayed as hydrated as possible. all of a sudden it stopped hurting . every now and then I get a little pain if I eat too fast or eat a little more than I should but overall it's rare . Good Luck, Pain meds did not help much , they make me sleepy so I wasn't active. Also pain meds for me are very constipating which doesn't help with the gas .

Thanks sharpie for your advice will keep in mind but I don't think it is gas anymore it's nearly 6 weeks!
