Hello everyone I had my op on Tuesday so today is my 3rd day and I was wondering if anyone could tell me how long I can expect these pains in my shoulder to last. Thanks so much for the messages of support I have recieved. Ps I ment shoulder pains not chest pains.

Mine last about 6 days. I read that it is called "referred pain". When ever you tamper with the stomach and liver, you feel the pain in your shoulder, just like when you have a heart attach you feel it in your left arm. I will go away soon, just take your meds.

Mine lasted two days, left and then it came back about a week later. Weird right? Then it left after about 3 days

Mine was overnight and my using the heating pad right after I got home from hospital relaxed me and pain disappeared. Sometimes Gas-X doesn't work because the pain is outside the stomach area. Best wishes

      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.
