Day 4 post op



Recommended Posts

I had my banding on 3-18 and all is going great! The only major complaint I have is the horrific gas pain in my shoulders. Gas x and the heating pad have become my best friend. I am tolerating the clears and am looking forward to my first post op appointment to be advanced to the next stage. How is everyone else doing so far?

Banded today!! I feel you on the shoulder pain. That was the first thing I noticed when I woke up. I'm still sore, but comfy in bed with lots of support pillows, lol.

Anyone still have that shoulder pain this far out?

I had a lap band placed in November 2014. I definitely had the shoulder/gas pains for 7-10 days. It seemed to linger forever. I tried the gas x strips that's dissolve on your tongue and it helped some, but walking/moving helped the most. I noticed the pain more when I would lay down to sleep and it seemed to be all I could focus on. Hang in there! It will get better!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
