what your feeling is very normal!

I am 10 days out, and went through the same thing u are going through....hang in there!! It WILL get better!!

The thing that worked the best for me was a heating pad, and taking 2 gas-x strips. And...WALK WALK WALK!! My husband massaging my neck and shoulder also helped to loosen up the gas!

Good luck!! Hang in there!

I SOOOO Feel your pain, literally. My left shoulder and into my neck has stabbing pains. I am keeping a heating pad on it which really does help. I stopped the gas-x but it may be time to start again. I actually feel more pain as soon as I start moving/walking! I wish I had one of those shiatsu neck massage things to work on it. My surgery was Monday so I am at least not dealing with the stomach gas as much anymore.

Good luck! Hope you feel better soon.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
