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...

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
