Is it a muscular pain or a piercing stabbing one, like a nerve pain? A lot of people found odd aches and pains when they started to lose weight. But generally, you shouldn't be feeling pain 10 days out. i would suggest you call your doctor and see what they think.

Why take a chance, right?

I agree with gamergirl, better to be safe than sorry. Give your doctor a call.

So two possibilities suggest themselves but I'm not a doctor so....

One is nerve pain, the other is gas. Ten days out seems too late for gas pain. But it's worth trying some gas-x and a heating pad tonight.

And then do pls call the doctor tomorrow. You should be healing these days and it's hard with pain, isn't it? :(

First, contact your doc. I have dealt with back pain for a long time. I was three weeks post op when my back went out again. I see a chiropractor. His thought was with loosing weight my body was readjusting to how I was carrying the weight. Adjustments have always been the best thing for me.

. I'll be 6 weeks tomorrow. I've had what sounds like the same middle upper back pain! Asked dr and he wasn't sure what it was either. Could be from hernia repair, he also loosely thought gall bladder. Thinking of heading to chiropractor...

My husband was sleeved with me and has lost 70 lbs or more. His hip has been hurting like mad. Same thing, center of gravity has shifted. So he went to a chiropractor and that helped some. He got better shoes and that has helped a lot. He went to a place called Run On where they fitted him for shoes based on his walk, and the hip is a bit better when he wears them.

I'd do the doc first, and if they don't know what it is, then chiro may be next resort.

I don't have severe pain, but I have been hurting of late...I'm thinking changing the way I carry myself now...hopefully. I know my legs hurt every night and it's not muscle pain...

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
