dee21 47 Posted July 11, 2013 Congratulations!! I am one month post op. From what I understand the arm pain can be from gas! Walk as much as possible. It really helps move all that gas out! Also, my back was very sore and I was told that was due to the hernia repair! I didn't have much shoulder pain. Just incision/port pain. Week two was when the back pain began. Now that I look back it wasn't all that bad. The results will be worth it!! I've lost 25lbs since surgery on June 11, 2013! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stept04 465 Posted July 11, 2013 To help with the shoulder pain you can use a heating pad it really helps. You can also use the heating pad where ever you have your gas pain too. ~~~Stephanie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karen WS 78 Posted July 11, 2013 Amazing how well we July banisters are doing. I feel pretty good today also. A little gas pain but otherwise pretty good. I had a hernia repair also. 1 readysetg070113 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my SAMSUNG GALAXY S3 using LapBandTalk I was also banded this morning and for hours try didn't want me sipping Water or having ice and that was the worst part, thank goodness. I am staying overnight - standard practice for my surgical group I guess - but was told all went very well and he was done in less than an hour. I am appreciating the morphine for sure - and have had some sips of Water, broth, and SF Jello. Ice pack on the belly. Incision pain has been more acute than gas pain. Much love to everyone on this site - the support has been so amazing. I really felt comfortable and confident as I walked to the hospital this morning and I know a lot of that was from the ppl on LBT! High fives to my July bandsters and 7/11 band twins!! 1 readysetg070113 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
