Hello,
Thanks for writing to hcm.
since it has been only two weeks since surgery you may experience little pain in the shoulder for one more month as the gas used during laproscopic surgery needs time to come out.
Kindly consult your surgeon. Proton pump inhibitors like omeprazole 20mg taken once daily atleast half an hour before breakfast does help to reduce the gas.
Also do walk around a little . complete bed rest and immobility may add up gas. Continue with bland diet.

Dr.Riyanka
