I was banded yesterday at 9 am was home by 12 noon. I also had a hernia repaired. My shoulder pain was mostly in my left shoulder. It was horrible! I feel much better today! Praise God. I walked outside for 20 minutes today. Gas is finally passing. Just a little sore! So happy it's over! Ready for the new me!

I had a hernia repaired as well. What's causing the arm pain?

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!

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.

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.

Banded 7/10/13 I stayed over night & glad I did. I was able to relax and have an IV with a banana bag & morfiene. Didnt feel much pain but I was thirsty.

Will the heating bad help get the air moving? I have the pad on my shoulder now

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!!
