Pain Between Shoulder Blades



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved Feb 28th and everything has been going well. Lately I have been have a dull ache between my shoulder blades and around my best breast bone. It almost feels like there is something stuck there. I am still on liquids but I did try some yogurt. Please let me know if this happened to you early on post op.

That's gas, try gas x strips. I had the same problem. It felt like a knife stuck in my shoulder blades. I tried the gas x strips, no more gas. :-)

I'm having the same problem! Just like dolores1976 said, knife thru my shoulders! Just popped in a Gas-X strip now, so I hope that works. I did ask my surgeon about this pain today and he said it must be from something other than the surgery-- THank God for this forum becuase this is obviously a normal part of our recovery. Shows how much he knows! lol Good luck with managing the pain :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
