Banded on the 30th. Does this shoulder pain ever get better? Mine has only gotten worse it seems like.

Heating pad for shoulder pain.

[banded1979 3]

I use it every once in a while. The pain stops when I lay down. As soon as I get up shooting pain starts. Very annoying but I can deal with it just want to know if it ever goes away. Been reading some post on here that say they are years post op and still have the pain.

I just had my banding on the first. From what I have read, it is supposed to be temporary and it's because of the gas they put in you when they are doing the banding. The tips suggested walking around to release the pain. Also, one thing I read said that if you had a hiatal hernia also removed, you get more shoulder pain. My pain had been noticeable but tolerable. Walking around definitely helped clear some of the pain. I just got the worst bought of the gas yet. I had some mashed potatoes and went to lay down for thirty minutes. When I got back up,I couldn't pass the gas and I was in a lot of pain. I took some gasex and my pain meds and I am feeling better.

Hope it goes away soon(for both of us)

I hope so too. I did have a hernia repaired too. The first two days after surgery I went to work and was walking around a lot. The third day every time I get up the shoulder pain is unbearable. I'm in the cat nite heading to my dad's. Will see how it goes. Pain meds don't seem to help for the shoulder pain either.

Sorry just re read. Lol. I'm in the car right now was what is was supposed to say

I'm 11 days post-op and haven't had any shoulder pain in about 4 days now. I do get a little discomfort after eating or sitting a while. I get up and move around and the discomfort goes away. I'm thankful the pain did go away, because it got brutal.

Thanks for the reply. Light at the end of the tunnel.

Was banded 4/26 to down 7lbs since surgery. Seem to have been stuck at the same weight for the last week though. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing. Congrats
