I am 3 days post op. I wa banded on Wednesday August 8th by Dr Titus Duncan in Atlanta. I also had hiatal hernia and umbillical hernia fixed at the same time. I have awful gas pain especially after I eat. I am only eating small amounts of apple sauce, sherbert, ice pops. A little soup...broth or Tomato.< /p>

I should note the gas is in my left shoulder and neck.

WOW, your surgeon let you eat sherbet and apple sauce. You are lucky I'm still on liquids (clear broth). I was banded Aug 6. My gas disappeared overnight. Heating pad on high on the back for 10-15 minutes. Then relax and before you go to bed put the heating pad on again.I also had a hiatal hernia repaired.

Best wishes and Be positive. I would stop the Tomato Soup (acid) for 2 days and see if it goes away.

My surgeon's staff warned me that my neck & shoulders would hurt from the way they have to position your head & neck for the anesthesia. Maybe this could be your pain.

I was banded yesterday and my left shoulder started hurting tonight. Trying the heating pad thing.

Thanks. I honestly thought after a day or two I would be feeling great. My husband got banded 2 years ago and seemed to have a much easier time than me. I do know that my neck and shoulder pain are much better in the mornings, but as soon as I eat or drink anything it comes right back. Also my stomach feels like I was kicked by a horse. It is especially bad when I try to stand and walk around.

it took me about 2 weeks before I was feeling back to my old self. the body must have time to repair it self. However consider yourself lucky .... I wasnt able to eat anything but liquids for the 3 weeks after surgery! My Dr was very strict.
