Do any of you happen to know if it's common to be put on your right side during VSG?  I don't know if I was or not.  I'm two months out, and I still have a little numbness and pain on the outside of my right upper arm just below the shoulder.  It's not bad, and it doesn't hurt unless I press on on it, but it's definitely there.  All I could think of was that maybe I was rolled on my side for a while on the hard table.  There's just no way it's still soreness from shots.  There was never a bruise of anything.  I'll ask my surgeon when I see him, but I don't see him until next month and I'm really curious about it.

It may be just gas.  Use Gas X strips & put a heating pad on the arm for 30 minutes everyday.  If pain still exists you may want to call your doctor's office for advice.  I hope you feel better soon!!
