I am one week out from surgery and I have some seriously strong pain in my middle and lower back. Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced it?

My husband is almost 3 weeks post opp and is experiencing the same thing, sever pain in his lower back and around into his lower abdomen. He isn't one to complain about pain, he didn't even complain in the first few days after his band was put in, so when he came home from work 2 nights ago in tears I took him to the ER. After 6 hours in the ER, a urine test, blood tests, and a cat scan, they told him his band looked fine and sent him home saying he has a stomach bug! "What the heck?!" I thought. Since when does a "stomach bug" make you hurt like that?! We came home and called his surgeon and the surgeon said to "wait a few days and see if it goes away". OK so now I am pissed! My husband is in extreme pain and no one seems to think anything is wrong! We have him an appt with our family Dr. 2 days from now (thats the soonest they could work him in), he is drinking liquid Tylenol as often as he can take it and it isn't even touching the pain. I hate that you are going threw the same thing, but I would love to know whats causing it!!
