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...

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
