    Help me please

    Hi... I had a hernia repair at the same time as the lapband. I had horrific stop-me-in-my-tracks pain in my left shoulder. If I laid down on my left side it would stop. Felt like a knife digging in my shoulder. Mine stopped almost completely at 2 weeks. Didn't ease off... just kinda stopped... I still get it every once in awhile... mine is from a radiating right by the diaphram.....PHRENIC NERVE.... still kicks up once in a while but nothing like before... the pressure on the nerve during the surgery from moving the diaphram as well as the gas they pump you full of caused it.....

    How long off work?

    My Dr. suggested one week, but allowed me to take 2 weeks to get used to eating, etc.. I ended up taking 3 as I had shoulder pain.
