Gas Pains!!!!

Thread Starter  

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!!!

Heating pad helped and lots of walking for me plus cammoile tea!!!
Good Luck

Hot fluids really help and heating pads. Keep moving and try to say relaxed.

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!
