Related to gas........for me it was quite uncomfortable.......walking does indeed help along with a heating pad. The Gas X was a waste of time in my case.........did nothing.

I never got the shoulder pain from gas after surgery, but now I have a nerve pain in shoulder that tells me when I've had enough to eat. You do not want to eat one extra bite the second you get a twinge.

I got the shoulder pain big time..and like lynner99, the gas x did nothing for me, but my heating pad was a godsend..and the pain does eventually go away....Best Wishes for your upcoming surgery! :)

They use gas to expand your stomach, and it takes a while to work its self out. For most people is comes out through you shoulder blades. Walking around alot in the house helps to relieve it faster.

It bothers some more than others. It took me about three days after I had my gall bladder out. There isn't much you can do to get rid of it as far as taking anything medication wise.

Hope that helps. You might ask you surgeon about it too.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
