Juat a quick post to ask when does this horrible gas pain go, i am 10 days post of and am still suffering with the neck/shoulder pain and its gettin the better of me, starting to get pissed off with it now, i feel like i cant get on with my life! do you just wake up one morning and its gone??? or can it take weeks?

Are you getting up and walking? I had surgery for a slip on 9/21/10 and life is back to normal....walk walk walk....even if it just around the house, it will help to move the gas out of your system faster. Good luck...feel better soon!

I was banded on 9/21 and I had the same annoying neck pain. I walked everyday, took Gas-X, and still the pain. I got fed up because I had no incision pain, only the neck pain. But on the morning of day 10 when I woke up, it suddenly was almost gone. I wish I had a better answer why it left but hang in there!!

That was the worst part of the whole process for me. Mine lingered for about 6 weeks, but was diminishing the whole time. I am almost 2.5 months out from surgery and if I get stuck, I also feel the shoulder pain again. Sometimes I can just be "full" and feel it. I'm actually kinda glad for it, as I know it's my body telling me to stop whatever I'm doing! It is certainly not as painful as it used to be. At 10 days out I was still feeling it a LOT and was getting sick of it. Small trade-off now though, just have to get through it .
