Had my band put in today and feeling pretty great!!!!!!no gas in my shoulder but my lungs feel very heavy..is this gas?normal for chest to burn when I breath?

I had my surgery yesterday and had no gas pains in my shoulders. But today I have bad gas pains in my stomach. I'm not sure what your feeling in the chest but it is definitely hard to take deep breaths here. The heating pad has been working great.

Use a heating pad on your tummies & shoulder pain. It helped me. And boy, I beltched like a sailor those 1st few days

i was having gas pains in my shoulder and did lots of walking but still that did not work, I read somewhere that someone sat in a rocking chair and rocked it that helped.....so I thought I would try to ride my exercise bike for a few minutes to see if i could get things moving......IT WORKED......just did like 5 min. then walked and heating pad and I was burping and passing gas....LOL

I am day 6 post op and my major gas pains just started yesterday. I literally wanted to die just to feel better. I felt like I needed to burp and it wouldn't come and I felt like I needed to poot and it didn't come. I tried a supository thinking maybe that would relieve some of the gas but all it did was make my stomach hurt more. I feel a little better this morning but I felt just fine yesterday morning too. It wasn't until I started having my shakes(my post op diet) that I started feeling bad. I had immense pressure in my chest. I am assuming that is where the band is? I am just hanging in there and know it will eventually get better.....right?
