Gas Pains 5 wks post op

I did lap band to sleeve on 11/2. The first week I had excruciating gas pains in my shoulder and lower back. I’ve been fine up until yesterday, and all of a sudden the gas pain is back. It has moved from my shoulder to my side to under my breasts. Has anybody else experienced this??

The cause of your pain at 5 weeks being gas is incredibly improbable

Have you talked to your doctor about this? Doesn't sound right to me but I'm no doctor.

Keep walking. It's supposed to help the gas.

Let us know how you're doing. Pretty soon you'll be passed all this. Keep positive. You can do this!!

Home remedies for gas.... cumin, ginger and mint. Mint or ginger tea, or broth with a shake of cumin in it might help.
