HeatherMae 11 Posted February 28, 2015 I am 5 days post op and feeling pretty good with the exception of severe back pain which I have had starting after surgery. I am backing off of my narcotic pain meds and trying to do mostly liquid Tylenol. I'm urinating so I don't think it is kidney related and I am up and moving as prescribed by my Dr. Just wondering if anyone else has had this experience and if anything helped?

claratess 0 Posted March 15, 2015 Where is the back pain? I contacted a very nasty kidney infection from the catheter. Get a urinalysis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenbaby75 283 Posted March 15, 2015 I am just over 3 weeks out, and have some lower back pain, likely from favoring my ab muscles, to avoid pain at the incision sites. At about 2 1/2 weeks, I had muscle pain around the large incision, my back hurt the most then. Now it seems better. When in doubt, call your surgeon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LaLa Lady 98 Posted March 17, 2015 I am having my WLS next week but have read that lying flat on the OR table causes some to experience back pain afterwards. Just something I read, don't really know. However, check with your doctor to be sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
