Banded on 10/9 and having pain in chest and back shoulder blades

Oils this be coming from gas that still hasn't gotten out?

HI, just had my surgery Sept 30. It was about 3 days after the surgery I had pain in my chest, as well as my shoulder/neck area, after the 3 days the chest area pain went way down and just felt tender. Monday will be 2 weeks from my surgery and up until a few days ago I still had some pain in my shoulder neck area it will get better! My experience it just takes time. Hang in there you will be fine!

pretty normal. I will be 1yr post op Oct 15 and I still get the shoulder pain. That is my soft stop, pain only gets worse if you don't.

I had surgery on 9/20 - it took me 9 days to get rid of the gas pain, which for me was shoulder, heart & back pain. Keep walking it off, it does get better. I totally feel myself again

Normal. I still get pains as well in my left shoulder every now and then. Same pains from post op Gas pains

I am three plus weeks and feel pretty good except the left shoulder pain. I feel it more at night and ibuprofen helps . Can anyone tell me what causes this? I don't feel gassy . I got a neck massage and it did help but it came back. I'm glad to know this is normal and will pass . Otherwise I feel pretty good

Walk as much as you can. I was in pain for about a week and walked and sometimes just standing up helped too. I even took a cane with me for my first few walks incase I wanted to stop and rest. It takes awhile, but will be all better soon.

Thank you all. I appreciate all the information. Today I am 4 days out and feel a little better.

Hi I just had my lab band surgery Oct. 8 . Today is my fifth day post op and still having chest pain. It is getting better. I'm concern that I can't drink enough Protein. I have been averaging about 600 calories a day. I can only drink one Protein Shake a day because of the nausea i get off and on all through the day. Does anybody know if this is normal?

I was worried that I was not getting enough calories so I emailed the nutritionist who said at this stage it was Norma, (5 days). . My chest pain didn't last quite as long but I know it can take a while to fade.
