help leg and shoulder pain
I had the sleeve Friday and came home Saturday. Right after I got home my legs starting hurting real bad. The pain goes down into the back of my legs and into my groin. Both of my shoulders hurt, but I figured that might be from laying in bed. I got up this morning and took all my meds except the baby aspirin, because it was left off my medication list. Do any of you take baby asprin, and if so did you start taking it after you got home from hospital? I really appreciate all of you on this board, as it helps to have people that have been down the weight loss road. I hate to call Dr. B because I know he needs a little off on Saturday and Sunday. If you have any suggestions about my legs and shoulders it would be greatly appreciated.

Jo Ann, More than likely the shoulder pain is gas. That is a very common thing to happen after surgery. Your leg pain you are describing is not usually a common problem. I would give Dr. Broussard a call describe to him what you are experiencing. After gastric surgery aspirin should not be taken because it can cause stomach irritation and bleeding. Give him a call and I hope you feel better soon. Remember to drink !!!! Rita
