Yesterday (Tuesday) was my surgery. After surgery, I had trouble swollowing and the doctor got some of the band fluid out - AUCH - long needle - but strangely it didnt hurt - all that much.

 

I made it thru the first night and at breakfast I had everything from the short liquid diet menu. Pain started shortly after that. This time it is worse than the pain before doctor got some of the fluid out of the band.

 

I came home today. Am hungry but any linquid i swollow hurts. Pain meds wear out in 1 hr.

 

My shoulders hurt. Why? Read the replies here and started putting warm blanket on my chest. Hope it works.

 

Am in bad pain. I am not new to pain. and this seems to be one of those that stand out in my memory. Will this get better tomorrow?

I am sorry to hear you are not doing well.

the pain in your shoulder and/or neck is from gas. They put so much gas into your stomach to help them make room for the surgery that it has no where to go. You must walk, walk, walk. It is the only thing that will help. Some people say GasX works, but I didn't need it. I walked back and forth in my condo and it passed quickly.

I had my surgery on the 21st, my birthday. I am doing very well. I really didn't have much pain, but I think it is becuase I started working out at the gym 2 months before my surgery.

If you hurt everytime you drink, you may need to change to warm drinks. Call your doctor and fill him in. Good luck.

I had so so so much pain the 1st 4 days, do not feel bad..this will pass...I was banded on the 18th of June and never thought I would feel this great. I could barely move my body was so sore and full of gas pain the 1st week. Do not worry, Do not give up, and DO NOT lose hope...mark my words...you will be all better in no time
