Back pain after gastric sleeve

[sleeve32 27]

Just wanted to see if anyone else has had bad back pain after they had their sleeves done? I am 10 days post op and although it's not as bad as it was right after surgery it is still hurting a lot. I never had back problems before surgery so I don't understand why it still hurts so bad.

Hi, I remember my back and body hurting but I was thinking that it was when they put you the table you are knocked out and the other at you are not n the table and getting back to your room, you were handled while sleeping. So it's possible we were not comfortable but obviously we could tell them. It will feel better as time goes by. Call your doctor if it persists.

Honestly, that was the only pain I had after surgery. I'm assuming it was from laying flat on the operating table for an hour or so. I spent most of the first day sitting on the side of my hospital bed because my upper back hurt so bad being in that bed. It felt so much better being upright.
