thesupportedhalf 66 Posted June 5, 2014 Keep walking it off, it will go. It normally can last up to a week but the more walking you do the less gas you will have, good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MAJIQUE 36 Posted June 5, 2014 That does seem like a long time but for walking and sitting up straight was my saving grace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thesupportedhalf 66 Posted June 5, 2014 I was lucky when I had my sleeve 2yrs ago I had no gas at all and had my pass last Thursday and had it in the right shoulder but managed to mall it off. I know that my surgeon says to get the patients up walking within 2hrs, so that maybe helped me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FayeJ 13 Posted June 5, 2014 I've walked a lot. Even the hospital staff commented on how much I was doing. I'll talk to my surgeon and see heat he says Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you find something that helps pass along. I find lying on my left side helps or just pressure on the left side. I'm back at work already so when the pain gets bad I just close my door and lay on my chair with a pillow against my side and that provides some relief Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JMAC79 0 Posted June 8, 2014 FayeJ..I had a severe pain in my left side that felt like a pinched nerve. I ended up getting checked out and had a PE.. However, they said the pain in your shoulders and between your shoulder blades is normal C2 pain and can last 2 weeks to 2 months..walking will help a lot.
