My gas pain was horrible... Just like your yourself I was regretting the surgery I couldn't even function correctly without being in pain it took me almost 4 weeks for the pain to go away but trust me it's worth it...good luck on ur journey!

I have has 2 surgeries and had shoulder pain with both and pain lasted about 2 weeks almost 3 weeks with lap band but some of that I believe came from being in a car accident 1 week post op.

Left shoulder pain is caused by something totally different. Search the thread Shoulder Pain- Revieled on here.

Heating pads and walking.

Drs should talk about the gas more. No one ever told me about that. Pain meds didn't help at all. Only walking, heat and patience!

Thank you so much for this info. I was banded on 10/17 and went for my 1st fill on 11/1. Right after that I now have that shoulder pain. I get the pain after I eat. It takes hours to go away. Then I eat again and it's back. I hope it goes away soon!

Have you called the dr? My dr told me to take gelcap Advil for the inflammation. I still have a tinge of discomfort now and then but no pain, pain. I go in for my first fill on Monday.

Mine was December 2010. My pain did not leave for almost two months. It was originally from the surgery but I'm sure from dietary change and physical change of stomach with the band. I have these pains again from time to time when I am stressed and my band is too tight or if I have has a PB or stuck episode, which us rare. My left "angel wing" hurts always the left side. I will belch air. Sometimes it is because I didn't chew well enough or ate too fast or took too big of a bite. I ended up asking my surgeon same questions. Hope this helps.
