I've also done a lot of core work.
Right after surgery I had back spasms (had to take muscle relaxers) because my back muscles were so weak they wouldn't pick up the slack from my abdominals which had been cut.
After recovery I did a couple of sessions of physical therapy to learn some exercises to strengthen my core. The therapist said I was carrying myself very slouched (possibly due to the weight, who knows) so I've been working on both the core strengthening and my posture for the last 8 months or so. I think that might have a lot to do with it, too.
