PAck pain

Im 6 week out and Im having lower back pain into my bottom. Did anyone experience any of this? What did you do to make it better? Im gonna see my PCP tomorrow...

Tanya, I had severe back pain around my 2nd week out - my surgeon told me it was due to them cutting thru stomach muscles and making that area weak, which caused more strain and pressure on my back. It lasted a few days and then just disappeared, but over those few days I could barely stand and walk - needed help from my husband just to get from bed to the bathroom. I broke down and took some pain meds from my surgery to get me thru it (had taken liquid Tylenol which I dumped on big time... - not fun). But anyway, that's where my pain came from - don't know if yours is the same or not, but it sounds like it is in the same area mine was. But definitely check with your PCP or surgeon - better safe than sorry...

Not sure what it is...
Hmm, make sure u are regular (re: BM's). 
Hope u feel better soon.

Tanya - I was about that far out and my back was terrible. Dr told me that sometimes when you loose weight rapidly the shifting of things changes your posture and can result in back pain.

Hope it gets better soon!

Good luck with the Dr.

Thanks. My gf nette had WLS back in 2006 i think she had it as well. Dr told her it was from losing weight so fast. I have felt great. No problems at all. I am feeling totally back to my old self except for my re routed insides. LOL Im seeing my PCP tomorrow morning.

Thanks alot.

Hi Tanya,
How are you girl? I was thinking on seeing  a Chiro. My mid back and lower back is aching. I've been using a heating pad but think a really good adjustment will make me feel better. I'll let you know if it helps.

for awhile from 3-9 months for the most part (i'm almost 9 1/2 months out if I sat for any period of time greater than 20 minutes I'd get horrific back pain.  End of July timeframe I went to a chiropracter (12 visits in 4 weeks) he wanted me to continue but I actually felt worse.. I now had pain when you touched my back I didn't have that before.   It was horrible standing up after sitting at work in a meeting .. I actually had to bring pain pills to work w/me if I was in an all day meeting or class ..   I have noticed in the past few weeks that its getting somewhat better.. It might only happen to me 2-3 times a week now vs every single day. 

I was told by someone early on it was from the weight loss.  the chiro did not think that.  All I know is I did not have this type of pain before surgery
