aboland1 3 Posted December 13, 2018 Hey everybody! My surgery was yesterday and I'm home now but I'm feeling MAJOR pain in my right shoulder :( it's so bad I can hardly lay on it. Any ideas of what it could be or how to help it? 17-year-old female, 1-day post op Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
insta_adventurer 1,046 Posted December 13, 2018 Probably gas from the surgery. During surgery they pump you full of gas so they have room to work. Very common to have it settle in your shoulders post-op.Walking will probably be the most helpful to alleviate the discomfort. 1 paulec74 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gabybab 696 Posted December 13, 2018 Yes. It's from surgery. While I haven't had the sleeve just yet, I've had 3 abdominal surgeries sbf its caused from the air they inflate your stomach with. I've had the same pain as well. I would try icing it and heat to see which might work best. Hope you feel better soon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
