I had a while where my back was sore. Basically, I had this until my spine re-aligned. It was so used to carrying the extra weight, that when it didn't it had to adjust. I also get lower back pain when my bowels are full.
If it's mid back pain, it could be gallbladder.
For the first, you could try to see a chiropractor or a massage therapist to see if they can ease the pain.

3 weeks post op and same for me but sometimes it also hurts where my kidneys are. My Nurse practitioner told me it was because of the weight shifting, the way we carry ourselves because of our stiches and the way we sit and sleep. Massages really helps. It is getting better. Hope you get relief soon and if not call your clinic and ask questions. Take care!
Thanks everyone......I am hoping it soon feels better...it is getting unbearable...

Maricw, I thought I was the only one with this issue, I attributed it to the fact that I was walking about a mile each morning, something I never did before. Then, I thought maybe my kidneys, but now I see others are saying it may be the weight shifting and causing this very strained feeling in my back. Just 2 months out for me, and I sure hope it subsides soon. I am still pretty top heavy, so maybe that is some of it as well...hope you feel better!
