Back And Neck Aches



Recommended Posts

Have any of you gotten back or neck aches since the surgery? Back ache is in the middle of back. I think this is a direct result of my posture and not adjusting it to account for loss of about 150 lb. I am looking for some suggestions because it is achy all the time. I am thinking about visiting a chiropractor soon to see if some adjustments will help.

I've had terrible back pain, from the second I woke up from surgery. In fact, my stomach didn't worry me at all because my back hurt so much. I'm now 2 weeks post op and it is sill giving me grief. I can't see a chiro for another week or so but I think you should definitely go to one. You may be standing slightly different to what your body is used to from the weightloss and the chiro will straighten you right out =)

I've also had middle back pain...at first thought it was because I wasn't drinking enough Water. But not sure what it is.....I'm 4 weeks post op. :/

I have the same problem. I'm 2 months post op and 46lbs down. A friend told me it's cause I don't have the core body strength anymore. Guess its time to hit the gym and start working out these muscles.

My back gets so bad it hurts to breathe. My doc is sending me to physical therapy. Hoping it helps.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
