Is the bag that was your tummy pulling your lower back forward? If so, see the chiro, get it documented. even if you don't plan a TT, you will still have the documentation if you decide to do it later.

Hi, I am now 17 mths postop, and yes I ahve experienced back pain also due to my extra skin on my arms, they pull on my shoulders then it starts to have pain there into my back area, so hopefully when I go to see my surgeon next mth he will keep a record of that for the referral to a plastic surgeon to give to my ins co. Take Care!

I am 9 months post op nd I have had lower back pain going on 2 months. I hate it. I haven't had time to go to the Dr. yet. I think that it is just from excess

If you have excess skin that hangs down, that weight can throw the lower back into more curvature. As you lose, the balance and dynamics of your muscle support system change, and back pain is common.
