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?

I am 1 week post op and I have been having back pain. I had no other pain related to the surgery.

Where is the back pain? I contacted a very nasty kidney infection from the catheter. Get a urinalysis

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.

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.

      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.
