I had the shoulder gas pains from previous surgery when I had my son so I almost expected it. I had my surgery on January 14th. I believe it's the worst part of the pain u experience. I have been using a pain patch and rub by Tiger Baum which has helped. Does anyone know why I would gain 8# back after lossing 12# pre-surgery. Ive obeyed all the rules--how can I gain weight on Clear liquids ONLY?
