UNbLIVable 10 Posted January 13, 2014 M 5 weeks post op today. (Down 43 lbs) last night before bed I was watching tv in bed and I had really bad bone pain in my hip and femur in my left leg. Anyone have any possible suggestions? I was thinking maybe I'm low in potassium. Idk, anyone else have this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newu2014 15 Posted January 13, 2014 Could it be that you slept on that side for the last 5 weeks? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuperFab 689 Posted January 13, 2014 When you were heavier you dispersed your weight differently. You walked with pressure on different areas than you do now. You will adapt a different gait when you walk as you lose weight, dispersing your weight differently. There are several threads about this that I've come across while researching.

gomekast 559 Posted January 13, 2014 I've definitely had a lot of aches and pains in my 3 months post op. Its getting better now tho..so I'm hoping the worst is behind me. I had them mainly in legs and hips too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
