Back pain since surgery... anyone else????

Are you moving enough..I mean moving, sometimes as we recover and heal from a surgery we tend to baby ourselves, which is awesome, but then we forget that our bodies are used to moving.  If you are in that much discomfort I would call your bariatric clinic and ask to talk to the head nurse, you will have more success than trying to reach a surgeon.~!

All the best....

Thanks, everyone. Yes, I've been in regular contact with the nurse practitioner and am going in tomorrow for an appointment. I have been active-ish. Walking I haven't yet made it around the block as my back gets way worse. Each day I walk a bit further though. I searched through the main OH forum and it seems other people have had similiar experiences. Perhaps, as one of you suggested, my back muscles have been overstrained by compensating for the front muscles. 

I hope you are feeling better:)

You said the gas x worked a bit, but is  your back still in a lot of pain??

Yes. I still have pain but my NP ordered abdominal x-rays and says that she sees a LOT of gas in my intestines. Seems that that is what is putting so much pressure on my back. So more Gas-x., no more laxatives and some groovy yoga poses are prescribed!

I just the visual of your groovy yoga poses! lol:) I hope they work!

Happy Baby to be precise!!!
