I am 1 month post-op and was wondering if some people still get a slight pain in shoulder? I never had this pain before surgery and thought the gas pain in the shoulder would be gone by now. I have heard some people mention that this happens sometimes if they eat too much but this happens regardless if I ate or not. Just wondering if this is fairly common.

I'm also one month post op, yay! I have heard that some people have the shoulder pain for a long time. I'm not entirely sure why, someone else will probably have better advice for you than I do, but I have heard that there are some that do have it.

I agree with Rozie I am also 1 month post op - I have heard some have shoulder discomfort for awhile - sorry your still hurting - My only suggestion is GAS X and walking - heating pad and Heating Pad

I am 5 weeks post op and I still get the shoulder pain. Odd thing is it didn't start until 2 weeks post op. Now I get it if I eat one bite too many or something that makes me gassy. Nothing gets rid of it...nothing. Not Gas X, not walking, heating pad... nothing. I just have to wait it out for it to disappear. I am slowly getting used to what to eat and what not to eat. It is learning how to read the signs my body gives. I wish you all the best in your journeys!

      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?
