sstark1285 40 Posted May 8, 2013 I am 12 weeks post of and doing well. No complications. This past week I started developing gas pains in my shoulder when I eat and they are PAINFUL. I experienced these directly after surgery but now they are back 3 months later but only when i eat. Has anyone experienced this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fixerupper 335 Posted May 8, 2013 I'm still pre-op but do you still have your gall bladder? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

soocalchic 1,087 Posted May 8, 2013 Slow down when you eat. shoulder pain can be your new indicator that you ate too much 1 Ms.AntiBand reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
src8556 3 Posted May 8, 2013 Are you on a NSAID? My doctor prescribed a NSAID to be taken for 30 days after surgery. 3 days after I completed the rx I started having the pain in the shoulder, like you are describing. He has put me back to the prescription until I feel I don't need it any more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rewind 39 Posted May 8, 2013 Yes, could be your gallbladder. There is a med you can take (bear liver) to prevent stones, and I guess the shock of your gallbladder not having enough to do... check with your MD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
