Gas pain after several weeks post surgery



Recommended Posts

Hi folks,

Everything is going great since my March 11 surgery. There are a couple things I didn't expect. I am eating a lot more than I thought I would (even after my first fill). I know I've got to find my "green zone," it's just been a little surprising. I am going down every week (very slowly), but my surgeon says I'm doing great.

Okay, here's the deal: I STILL have left shoulder pain (mostly it's at night) from the gas!!! It goes away when I lie down, then when I wake up, I don't have it at all (until evening time). WHAT GIVES??? I am two months out of surgery. This seems odd to me. Any ideas? My surgeon did not seem worried at all, but he's not the one with the left shoulder pain! LOL

@@jaybro, I don't have that every day, but I do still have a left shoulder pain occasionally. It always surprises me, because I thought it would be completely gone by now. I was banded March 13. However, it does not last long and does not hurt as much as immediately post surgery.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
