Anyone else having a lot back pain 4 months post op?



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery Nov 27th and have lost 55 lbs I am very happy with the results so far but for the last 2 weeks I have had a lot of back pain and just a couple days ago having some pain on my left side just below my ribs and an incision it feels like a burning, pinching feeling, I have not had a temp or feeling sick so I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced these symptoms this far out?

I was. It went away in the last month finally. Never found out what it was.

Interested to hear what others say.

Sometimes with rapid weight loss... The shifting of our insides, muscles and such can cause a nerve to be pinched. The burning , stabbing pain you described does sound like nerve pain. When you lose more weight things readjust again and the nerve gets unpinched and goes back to normal. Hope this helps! :D

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
