I been hearing alot about shoulder gas. It sounds painful! Can someone explain what that is, and why they get it? Is it like normal gas, but in the shoulder? Why do you get gas in the shoulder?...I'm confused and scared!!

With laproscopic procedures, they fill your abdominal cavity with CO2 gas so they can manipulate around in there with the scopes.

Some of the gas releases, but some of it gets trapped. Walking helps move the gas pockets around, and helps them "release" or dissipate.

Don't freak out over gas. I had a gas bubble trapped in my shoulder for a couple of days, but stretching and walking resolved all my gas issues quite quickly.

I'm so glad you are sleeved! I too was caught off guard with the nausea, even threw up the blue dye which was scarey. Thought I would hurt the sutures. I know I only got just a little down, enough to turn a bright green poo later. I could only suck on ice for 2 days and walk. But started feeling better every day when the gas moved. You will too! Now you can join us burpers and well......, lets have a burp off!
