    Default Gas Pain 2 Weeks Post Op

    I was sleeved on 2/21/14, and have felt fantastic until 3 days ago. I am having the most excruciating pain in my back and left shoulder. I'm having a hard time catching my breath, and laying down is out of the question! Has anyone else experienced this type of pain? I you have what did you do for relief?

    I would talk to your surgeon, just because lots of pain could be a lot of different things.

    That being said, I had crazy pain in my shoulder and it did hurt to take a deep breath. It slowly goes away, but what I did that really helped was get an icy hot patch and put it over the area that hurt.

    I did have the type of pain you mentioned. I found Gas X, walking, and deep breathing helped. If you think it needs to be seen by a surgeon, by all means, you should call the office. I have heard others talk about the same type of pain, and it's not really so uncommon. Also, make sure you're not gulping, and sipping more slowly. Continued success!

    Hey Emily It's Darlene It sounds like you have a mega case of indigestion. Are you taking anything on a daily basis? I started Omeprazole since the day after Surgery.

    Emily I have the back pain. I am a month out and have been experiencing this for the past 3 weeks. I use a heating pad. I don't know what to do for it either - if you find anything out let me know

    Every journey begins with one small step....

    I'm doing really well. Just wish I had this done years ago. Hope you feel better soon.
