My left shoulder hurts almost all the time, very similar to the gas pain in the hospital...I have done great other than that...I went for my 1 wk post op on Tuesday and the nurse practioner wasn't concerned about my shoulder...I had a drain removed on that day as well...I also had hernia repair along eith my sleeve...I've used gas x strips but not a huge help...if anybody has had this problem please share or if anybody has any thoughts, Im def up for opinions. thanks
