I'm guessing that it's gas from surgery, but you should run it by your doctor.

The gas plays havoc, and it's the left side (shoulder) that's typically affected.

I second Mrsinto. While you are waiting to hear back, take some Gas-X and start walking. A heating pad to the affected shoulder helps too.

I had pain there the whole time I was banded. It felt like being repeatedly punched and twisted. My band was in the wrong place and was strangling my stomach. I'd check with your doctor soon to make sure everything's where it should be. Hope you feel better and it's nothing serious.

Yes sweetie, that is the gas at work. Just keep walking and taking gas X until it subsides in a few days. Congratulations on your surgery and good luck.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
