armywife1129 0 Posted April 8, 2011 I was barely banded today, i also have left shoulder pain, my dr. said it should go away in a day or two, im guessing its from the air they pump inside of you. I took some tums 2 of them and it has seemed to go away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ElfiePoo 109 Posted April 8, 2011 Just get up and move around, Gax-X and heating pad...and time. Usually goes away in a few days if it's gas. . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mjmkmom 0 Posted April 10, 2011 There is no way this is still gas pain!! I went to Chicago 2 days post op and walked for two days!! The pain is getting worse not better for me. My left shoulder gets such sharp pains, if I wait too long to eat, or as soon as I drink ANY liquid!! Last night was the worst!!! I see the doc on Monday for my 1 week post op, and I know he is going to tell me it is gas pain. I have had other surgeries and am well aware of what gas pains feel like, this is not it. HELP!!
