Gas pain in shoulders



Recommended Posts

My Surg was 11/28... I expected to have gas pain last 2-4 days! It seems to be just as bad as day one & can get intense enough to stop me in my tracts, is this the norm? Also am on a blood thinner for 10days, I am experiencing shortness of breath from time to time... is this due to the blood thinner, or a symptom others experienced???

Any & all info is appreciated!!!

Hi,

I had my surgery on 11/21, I only had gas pain for the first night, but I have a high pain threshold so I haven,t had any pain, I am on blood thinner for 4 weeks and I haven't had any problems with them only the bee sting feeling after they are injected

I’m in day 3 and I don’t have gas pain in my shoulders, but it’s inside me. I feel like I’m constantly grumbling around in there ready to burp or hiccup after any sip. I need to move around more I think. Are you walking around?

Been walking a lot ..... put heating pad on my shoulders this morning, seem to relieve things ... but was all back within an hour!!!
I spoke with a nurse in the family this eve & she said the blood thinner I am taking can cause the shortness of breath!!!

Hi,

My surgery was on 11/25. I had very bad gas pain in my left shoulder for 2 days. The downward dog yoga pose helped for obvious reasons. I also did a dose of milk of mag and a fleets suppository which reliever it completely. Hope this helps.

Sleeved the same day and also have some residual pressure/pain in my left shoulder. I've been using a heating pad, icy hot, deep massage, yoga, and lifting some light weights. It's not making it go away, but it's making it more manageable.

I’m 5 days out and still have the grumbling and sometimes there is a pain right under my sternum that stops me from doing anything until I move around. I find that moving and walking helps me with all that. Sitting too long also makes me very uncomfortable.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      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.
