Please help me
Probably. I was 335 at my highest and doing dishes at the sink caused me lots of back pain, I knew it was the weight of my abdomen. Even sleeping on my stomach caused some pain. I debated buying a stomach binder to 'hold up' the weight. That's when I realized this had got out of hand and decided on WLS. No back pain since.

Only a physician can tell you why you are suffering from back pain. Unfortunately, many doctors are quick to blame any problem on your weight, so finding a doctor who doesn't immediately dismiss your pain can be difficult to find.
Personally, back pain was the motivating factor for me to pursue WLS. I was in pain all the time. My days were filled with hunting for the next place I could sit to alleviate it. After I lost weight, the pain greatly diminished and I have days with absolutely no pain. Plus, the discomfort I feel now is manageable and not constant.
