Anyone else experienced mid back pain after surgery? I'm 10 days post op and gave had almost cramping back pain in my middle back. Can't seem to get comfortable. Standing makes it worse. Any one else?

Are you excited? What time is surgery?

Hey Dana! Sorry I'm just getting online to reply. Surgery went great. Hospital stay was fairly easy. Day 3 (yesterday) was the worse because of soreness and bloating. It's weird how food changes. Nothing tastes the same and right now nothing tastes good. My sister (who had sleeve in august) says by next week that will be all better! haven't had any nausea or vomiting and gas had been tolerable. Now I'm just focusing on getting in liquids and Protein. I can't wait til next week when I can start having soft and purred food How are you?

On my way to the hospital! Excited as heck or should I say nervous! Hehe surgery scheduled for 9:45. I'll be in touch in a few days! Hang in there on the diet. The last week has been pretty easy. Glad to detox and get the carbs out before surgery. I can't imagine having to recover while having those headaches! Take care! Tammy

Hey flagirlintx, My story is very very very similar to yours, even down to the weight I had my band out in February and my bypass is October 2nd! I'd love to hear how yours went! Hope it went great! Tammy

October 2nd! Starting to get really anxious! But still excited????

Sorry I meant to respond to AuriP. ????

Beni, How is it going? Only 5 more days! Are you getting as excited as I am? I'll be glad once I have all of my errands run, house cleaned, and get caught up at work. I guess keeping busy is the best thing to do. Where are you located?

I'm having my surgery October 2nd too! Getting a little anxious but overall doing great. I feel pretty ready for this! .... I think!!!!

Hello all! I had my lap band out in February and have my bypass next Thursday. (Oct 2nd) liquid diet going good. I've lost 7.5 pounds so far. Starting to get a little anxious. I'd love to keep in touch with you other October folks! Tammy Raleigh, NC

Hey Dana! How's the liquid diet going? The first 2-3 days are the worst but now I'm doing great. I have 6 more days . I've list 7.5 pounds so far. Hoping for 3-4 more by next Thursday (surgery day). I'm starting to get really anxious these last few days. This is tj last weekend to get prepared. Clean house, pack for the hospital, get prescriptions filled, groceries bought etc. I work in human resources for a bank and I have tons to do at work too to prepare for Being out 2-3 weeks. Do you work? How long do you plan to stay home? Let me know how you are doing! Tammy
