Aches and pains

It's the oddest thing. Started a few days ago. It comes and goes but usually is very present by the end of the day. It's the mid back region, not lower, on the right side. And the thing it, it doesn't feel like muscle ache, it's a different sort of ache but is not severe... On top of that, my muscles are aching and groaning, particularly in the morning. I feel ancient. I'm wondering if the muscle aches, or the back pain (which is separate and different) are signs of anything I should be worried about. Neither is debilitating and I'm just worrying, probably for nothing. Anyone else experiencing something similar?

Hi Mary, I had WLS July 28 and I am experiencing mid back pain too. I also know that I I have been making my bra tighter from losing 35 lbs already. I have my husband rub my back and sometimes really work the muscles and that seems to help. A chiropractor may help too. Good Luck!

Hi Mary- I had my surgery on 7/9/03 and I saw my Dr. on 9/8/03 for my 2 month check up. Well, I had been having some back problems, and my knee was aching ALOT. My Dr. said this is quite common after the surgery for a few months. Because, as we are losing weight, we are becoming more physically active, which stresses the joints/muscles. He also said that as we lose weight, we are throwing our center of gravity off, so we start sitting different, walking different, standing different, etc. He said this will eventually correct itself, and we should start feeling better!! -Rachel
