What Is The Remedy For Pain In My Neck,shoulder And Head After A Successful Gastric Band Surgery?

Hi I had a gastric band surgery 4 days ago without any complications. Today I have pain in my left shoulder neck and through my head. I also feel low and am extremely tearful. Also 2 of my wounds are slightly open-these were held together by glue. I just feel dreadful, is this normal??

Hi. Gastric band surgery is done for obesity. And Obesity itself may be the reason for gaping in would . They will re-stitch and will be fine. As far as the pain in shoulder to head go- this must be due to cervical spondilitis. Taking antiinflammatory medicines, muscle relaxants and local ointment will get this alright.
