back pain

I am 5 weeks post op as of tomorrow and haven't had a single problem (well aside from the constipation that is). But last week I started having really back pain aches everyday starting about 2-3 pm in my mid back on each side of my spine. I had back problems before the surgery but not this often, what could cause this? It gets really painful sometimes. Thanks for any insite. Otherwise I'm doing fabulous. Donna

Donna, like you I had my surgery sept. 22. My back pain is horrible right now. I tried to say it was from moving into our new home but I am beginning to wonder. It is in the middle of my back also and around my ribs. Coincedence or just something for this time in our wls?

Hey ther.....well, I think it's the weather! I'm 7 weeks out and have been having back pain lately....it's arthritis for me and the cold weather. So, you''re not alone...have you had back problems ?

Hi Donna - maybe it's just an Alabama thing, cuz I've not had one single problem with my back. As a matter of fact, I had back problems BEFORE my surgery because of the weight. I even went Christmas shopping yesterday for the first time in 2 Christmas seasons.
