yes it will go away . use a heating pad and try to move as much as possible. I think my shoulder pain lasted about 10 days. I still get a little pain in my left shoulder if I eat too fast.

This is so very normal. Try walking and take a Gas-X strip. I feel like I should have stock in that company now ...

Walk a lot and ask a pal to do karate chops on your neck and shoulders a few times a day.

The shoulder pain was the worst part of the surgery, mine lasted well into day 20 post op. It was crippling at times, I found that nothing really helped to ease it, I moved around and applied hot packs as often as possible. I also get a pinch in my left shoulder if I eat too quickly at times. Hang in there, it's completely normal due to the Co2 they use to inflate your abdomen so that they can see/move your organs to get to your stomach. Give it time.

      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.
