Hi Bexs, with the shoulder pain the Physio said to me to rub the side of your tummy. So if the pain is in your left shoulder then rub your tummy on the right side about 2-3 inches across from your belly button. She told me it is trapped wind under your diaphragm. It worked for me its worth a try. I had hideous shoulder pain but it did ease after a few days. Good Luck. xxx

When I was in the hospital they gave me peppermint tea which helped a lot. When I got home I used my trusty old Windeze tablets, they are chewable so easy to take and work a treat. Hope you are feeling better soon (((((hugs)))))

Hi there I am 2 days post op from having a gastric band am in exactly the same boat pain in my left shoulder blade it is easing now but been passing lots of wind I'm managing to eat a tiny bit but am really struggling with bending and picking stuff up of the floor it's so painful I'm scared I am gonna rip something inside before it's healed is this normal?

I found stretching side to side and forward and up (gently!) really helped to displace the wind (I have a friend who's a doctor that explained it all to me, but I forgot *lol*) Also, windeze tablets definitely helped!

I always rely on M&S peppermint crumbles after anaesthetic unfortuntely I won't be able to have them this time around!!

Still in pain but same as you it done me good going back to work 6 days after op...I'm getting there but I have to say it really has been an emotional rollercoaster. I am two weeks post op and I have lost over 2 stone so far which is really great x
