Gas pain in shoulder and chest???



Recommended Posts

I have the same problem. I was banded on 8/31. I hope it goes away soon. My shoulder is killing me.

The pain does start to go away. I feel for you. By day #7 I felt like crying. Between the constent feeling of someone sitting on my chest and the shoulder pain, I felt like I could cry at the drop of a hat. :lol: It really can wear you down. But it feels so much better now!!! I do get a little of a mild pain in my shoulder still at times. But as of yesterday I am off any sort of pain med. :) I hope you get feeling better soon!:blush:

I am glad I found this thread!! I was starting to worry cause right before I was suppose to have surgery they found I had a enlarged heart so I had to cancel surgery and go through all that... Finally had surgery yesterday and am having some pain in my shoulder and chest on my left side. I was starting to worry it was my heart but now I'm seeing its prolly just gas pains. Whew!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
