I had surgery on 7/1/08. I started walking 5 to 8 miles daily from 7/4/08. So to me, I understood that my legs should hurt, because I actually think I was overdoing the walking, however, by month 3, I felt that the pain should of been gone, it lasted another couple of weeks.....Good Luck..Magdalena

I had this problem at 2 months out. I asked my doc and he said it is the change in your gait. meaning your muscles are getting used to moving a different way for you. It will pass. Mine did. I am 2.2 years out now. Your hip joints, your knee joints and muscles will ache for awhile. keep exercising, this too shall pass. Good luck!

This happened to me right after surgery when I had to walk for the first time. I was told probably the gas from surgery, & i also think it was from the way I laid in my bed at the hospital. I did not lay flat, I had the bed propped up about 1/2 way and i think that did not help the problem. After I returned home and was sleeping in my own bed it got better with time. My surgery was on 4/9/08 and as of today I have lost 103lbs. You will feel better. Lot of luck!

I had my bypass surgery on October 7th and I have had back pain off and on since (especially when walking and standing). My DR. tells me that my center of gravity has changed with my weight loss (15 lbs pre-op and 26 lbs post-op). He says my body will adjust and already it seem somewhat better.
