littleroo1 0 Posted September 15, 2007 I only had noticeable pains for two days after surgery. Walking a lot helps! The heating pad helped me more than GasX but everyone is different. Some people have relief if their hold their arm up while sitting or laying down. Hang in there!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chrisks13 0 Posted September 16, 2007 Try to move around as much as you can tolerate. It is the gas used to fill your belly so they can see in surgery looking for someplace to go... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mylapspirit 2 Posted September 16, 2007 I had shoulder pain up to two weeks but only when I over did and I got tired. It was weird. It was like my body hit a wall and told me I needed to take it easy and get some rest. shelli:ranger: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ruhereyet 0 Posted September 16, 2007 I was banded on 09.06 and my shoulder still hurts. But, as Shelli stated, it appears to be okay until I overdo it and then it really starts killing me again. Cathy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
