Terrible neck/shoulder pain at 2 WKs post -- still gas?



Recommended Posts

I'm having worse shoulder and neck pain now than in the days after surgery. It's right across the top back of my shoulders and into my neck. Is this still gas or not?

I've been taking at least one good walk a day and working. I'm an artist, so I work at home making things and shipping. I do everything myself except lifting heavy packages. I started working on easy small stuff about 4days after returning home.

Do you think this pain is caused by gas or by over-doing it with work? I had gas after a c-section but I don't recall it lasting this long.

Thanks.

I also had this problem it was weird because I didn't have it right after surgery but within 4 to 5 days out it started up. It did go away but I had to take some Tylenol even early out for the pain.

Yes had that problem.. and was told that was gas causing that too.. im like ok I dont get it but ok.. it did go away.. I had pain meds when they sent me home.. took that it seemed to help and plus the gas x of course was everyones best friend.. guess it put pressure on everything.. but it will go away.. trust us on that one. best of luck and hang in there.

      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.
