Shoulder Pain

[jessasmile78 6]

I have had surgery twice and both times it came with shoulder pain. It's totally normal. I stopped taking my pain meds the day of surgery because I was violently throwing up everything I drank.

Today 90% of shoulder pain gone! But.... I am very sore like I did a 100 sit ups. I am sure it's all part of the healing process. Hope ya'll found some relief the last few days

Also had surgery July 5th, and I have the exact same pain in the exact same area!!! I have noticed it getting better with time though.

Is anyone having pain in their left side? I'm not sure where my port is and I don't like poking around my incisions (weak stomach with cuts, blood ), so this may be why my side hurts, but it could be gas too. My shoulder hurts, but Aleve helps with this. I have been taking Gas X strips regularly and they sort of help.

I have the same problem as anume. I am almost six months post op and still get wicked left shoulder pain from time to time. It usually lasts 10-15 mins and nothing relieves the pain-except time. It is the result of eating too quickly/too much. In my case, I don't get the sensation until a few minutes after I've eaten. So if this happens to you down the road, you'll know why.

Thank you for letting me know the cause of this! It has been driving me crazy!

I'm 5 days on from my surgery and tonight I got this awful pain where i think my band is. Below my ribs on the left? It feels like its knocking against something or rubbing. I am constipated and was worried I put a little too much effort in in the bathroom. I have taken some pain killers, enough to usually numb everything but every time I move it hurts. It's 2:30am in Aus and I'm trying to decide if I should page my surgeon.
