Good news though, it should be gone soon. I hope so because the pain can be intense and then just go away.

4mybabies 36 Posted June 27, 2016 I had that pain and thought I was going to die ! it only happened once I tried to sit or stand up or get ready to lie down, my breathing would get short as well. My nurse told me to get some gasX, I took it and continued to walk and it went away almost over night. Now the only pain I have is in my left side from my largest incision Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cindyw41 761 Posted June 27, 2016 I would get a pain in my shoulder early on. I figured it was gas. I noticed it when I would eat too fast and It was always the left side. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KristenLe 5,979 Posted June 27, 2016 Call your surgeon if you question the pain or it's intensity. Although it could be normal - it could also be a complication such as blood clots. Please don't take the chance that it's the same pain others have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PaulStephens1975 62 Posted June 28, 2016 Roll your shoulders, walk, Gas-x, heating pad, hot Water bottle. Those are the best recommendations I can give to try. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
