JenW~79 12 Posted September 6, 2014 Hi! My surgery is set for October 1st. Why the shoulder pain? How have you done with getting in your liquids? Have you had lots of nausea? Congrats on your surgery!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beautysleeve559 69 Posted September 6, 2014 Hello..@@konalisa80 my surgery is set for next Monday 9/15. Congrats to you on your surgery. Is the shoulder pain from the air that they put into your belly during surgery? Is it a tolerable pain or are you still taking pain meds? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is the shoulder pain from the air that they put into your belly during surgery? Is it a tolerable pain or are you still taking pain meds? I believe the shoulder pain is gas. It has lessened the more I walk. I'm taking some pain meds at wider intervals today. The pain yesterday and today was tolerable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steph Jo 89084 12 Posted September 7, 2014 First night was a little rough, but the worst pain for me has been my shoulder. Been resting and walking around my apartment. I was sleeved on 9/3. The only pain I have is around my belly button which is the largest incision. This has been a wonderful experience for me. I was able to get out today and walk around Chinatown. I feel fantastic...just a little weak. I am having a hard time getting all the Protein in, but I keep sipping on the shake! Down 14 pounds but this includes the two weeks of liquids prior to surgery.

Pictou 12 Posted September 9, 2014 I was sleeved yesterday (9/8) and only had mild pain in one shoulder yesterday. Once I was home from hospital I was fine. I need to walk more today but have had no problem sipping liquid and taking medium sized pills.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RavensAngel 22 Posted September 15, 2014 I was sleeved on 9 - 4 also when I was able to become concious of my body again the first thing I was able to identify was my shouder blade area. Good GOSH did it hurt. It felt like someone had shot an arrow in it and left it there. It worked out but I found it difficult to try to walk so medicated. I should of had a plan.
