mariamomof2 0 Posted June 28, 2008 I was banded 5 days ago. 3 days ago, my bowels woke up and I started passing gas... that is when the horrible left shoulder pain started. I've been taking gas-x and walking alot. Does anyone else have any suggestions? Thanks!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FighterGirl 1 Posted June 28, 2008 Hot fluids really help and heating pads. Keep moving and try to say relaxed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iteachurkid 0 Posted June 28, 2008 I know it's been said, but the heating pad became my very good friend. I had bad pain in my left shoulder from the moment I woke up in recovery. The heating pad helped SOOO much! Good luck and feel better! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
