Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Hi Katalin, I ended up using Panadol suppositories and crushing degas, as well as using a heated wheat bag and topical votaren gel . It didn't completely cure it- the only thing that will is time, rest and a little movement- I walked around and around the house- it is referred pain from the CO2 around your diaphragm that they used to distend your tummy cavity so they can manouvre around, and will eventually disperse- little comfort, I know for now, but rest assured it's only a temporary thing. A good f@rt or two may also ease the situation a bit. You should have seen me, I was in stacks of (unexpected) abdominal pain, and you should have seen the photos of Mel's bruising!!!!

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Thanks , I knew someone will put this in perspective for me! If it's not forever, I can take it, and if others has suffered a stack more, then I will shut up! :-) Thank you again, katalin > > Hi Katalin, > > I ended up using Panadol suppositories and crushing degas, as well as using a heated wheat bag and topical votaren gel .

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Hi Katalin, For most it only lasts a few days. BUT ... ONLY is not a good word to use - some people feel the pain so badly and it's like a bad tooth ache that won't go away. Have you tried the natural relievers ... peppermint tea, de-gas tabs (these don't work on the gas trapped in your abdominal cavity, but they do help with any pressure that may be coming from inside your tummy with trapped wind irritating your vagus nerve), hot packs, wheat bags, sitting upright and still for ten minutes. It will go but some people have it for a while. Horrible huh! Bev Send instant messages to your online friends http://au.messenger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Hi Katalin, I didn't mean to trivialise YOUR pain, pain is pain, and it's just awful, espicially the knife in the shoulders type. Just rest assured that it's a normal by-product of lap-surgery, is hard to shift, but will be gone eventually, then it's onwards and downwards for you! If you weren't pre-warned about this, or had it mentioned trivially in passing by your doctor, you have every right to feel alarmed and worried. Call him back for reassurance, or at least let it be known "for the record", or your case notes, that you are suffering so. Meanwhile, feel free to vent to us all, that's what we're here for. Some of us have been there, so we all commiserate. I reckon the hot wheat pack was by far the best though, along with the pacing about.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Hi Bev and All, thanks for all the advice, I guess the most important I am reading in all of them is that this will go away! Can't wait. :-) I don't mind the walking bit, but this STP seems to start up when I move or stand up. If I lie, it is fine, but when I get up, it stabs. I am sipping the peppermint tea now but in any case, as I said before, it is already easier just from knowing that this is not here forever. Will get some of the panadol happening, that may help, as well. thanks again! katalin > > Hi Katalin, > > For most it only lasts a few days. BUT ...

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 I had a terrible time with STP (shoulder tip pain) - It lasted for about a month - maybe a bit more so please keep in mind, it wont last for ever!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 I was banded on 8-8 and have been experiencing shoulder pain ever since. I can tell you that it does ease up it is not gone but it is getiing bettet. Walk Walk Walk I also found out that if i drank more than a couple of ounces it make the shoulder pain worse. Gas X didn't work for me either. As far as the liquid stage, it gets easier day by day. Please don't cheat...it is very important. I rode to get my surgery with a lady who snuck in a couple of noodles with her broth and she was on her way back because her band had slipped. This was enough motivation for me. I went to GNC and got the whey protein shake by pro performance in the chocolate flavor and mixed it with water and it tastes great. I feel your pain with the shoulder though it has brought me to tears many of times.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 HI Everyone, I wanted to tell you all about Trader Joe's whey protein powder mix. I've used it off and on when dieting and it's pretty good. They have chocolate and vanilla flavors and a soy protein as well. Mixed with water it is 120 calories and provides 17 grams of protein per serving. It's low sugar for those looking to control your sugar intake although I use a little Stevia powder to sweeten the soy type because I really didn't care for the soy. I believe it's about 8.99 for a small can of 14 or 17 servings. Good luck to all.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 thank you for that advice, yes it is easing up but wow that seems along time for the shoulder pain. Thank you for the other advice, how did she know the band slipped? I have been sticking to the liquids and i will try the choclate. any other suggestions to keep it going well and by the way how is your progress going? You should be feeling pretty good by now... sandy --- Mz Ducati <mzducati900ss@...> wrote: > I was banded on 8-8 and have been experiencing > shoulder pain ever since.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 I do feel pretty good. I am starting the third phase. She had known her band had slipped because she couldn't eat anything...not even swallow water. I had a lot of hunger pains when I first started but when I let go of the jello and vitamin water to stop my sugar roller coaster, they went away. I drink a lot of water. For the first to phases I would drink 1/2 of a protein shake in the morning, then lots of water, a yogurt for lunch, then more water , and then soup and the other 1/2 of my chocolate protein drink for dessert. (plus I am a GM of and Italian Restaurant so I was around food for 12 hours.) Keep yourself as busy as possible and you won't get hunger pains out of boredom sandy doyle <doylesandy@...> wrote: thank you for that advice, yes it is easing up but wowthat seems along time for the shoulder pain.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 ok great to know , i did buy some juice bars but have not started on protein drinks yet or bought anything..i will try what you suggested..just hate spending money on stuff that tastes bad and you said that was good so will try your pro performance. i am at day 7 and will do clear a few more days then go into the protien and different soups..i went and bought a magic bullet blender for smoothies and to grind up whatever i needed. and i do understand the boredom hunger..good luck to you and thank you for your tips... sandy --- Mz Ducati <mzducati900ss@...> wrote: > I do feel pretty good.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Sandy, It's sold by Trader Joe's and the brand name is actually Trader Darwin. It has all the vitamins and is low fat and low sodium. The 8.99 can has 17 servings per can. I often add some fat free yogart just to get in a little more protein and calcium.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Sorry you're having trouble! I don't see much chance at all that this is related to the band at all. That type of oaiun is not the typical band nerve pain we can get with overeating, etc. Still, if you have not had regular fluoros along the way, I'd have one as a good assessment, as it's due anyway. What do others here think? Sandy r > > I am over two years out from my lap band surgery.

It hurts mostly at night. Someitmes I am a bit nauseaous. > Thanks for any input. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
