I was sleeved 10/12 and I have lost 60 lbs. just lately I have experienced horrible back pain and rib pain. It feels like the connective tissue between my posterior ribs into my back, when I am standing.

I'm not sure about that specific area, but I do know that with weightloss, especially rapid weightloss like most of us are on, it can cause some back pain since the excess weight is being relieved off from the spine and it can take it a little bit to 'heal'. If it gets too bad, I'd talk to your PCP about seeing a chiropractor just to be safe.

I already had bulging disks in my back, hip osteoarthritis n fibromyalgia. My surgery is supposed to help all that but its hard getting in my walks. Im doing my best but know its not enough....

Id go to a chiropractor n inquire about an adjustment due to the discs and the weight change.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
