The shoulder is gas pains. Only way to ease that is to walk a lot.

It's ur phrenic nerve... Give it a couple days, maybe 2 weeks and ull be good. My doc told me to take advil for 5 days and walk around doing "windmills" with ur arms:)

Thanx for the advice... Doing windmills now

Had my surgery this moring at 7 and was on my way home by 11. The only pains that I have are in the upper middle of my back that I am assuming is gas and two incisions. I just can't seem to stay awake! I hope tomorrow is better.

Gas X works wonders for shoulder pain too!! and yes, lots of walking. It will get better everyday....it is from the gas that they use for laproscopic.

Today hasnt been bad. I am still having shoulder paint husband brought me some icy hot strips and they work wonders!! No pain meds today!!! As of yet.. And I been walking through the house non stop! Gas is moving but no bm ( tmi sorry) dr says I need to drink g2 for strength but I take two swallows and feel like I have drank a gallon! No desire to eat food and no appetite at all and the smell of food is really causing me nausea. The last two days I woke I didn't think about food or what to eat for Breakfast. My mind was on being healthy and going back to work Monday. I love my dr who did my lapband! Dr bagnoto from albany Georgia
