I did look in the topic list and didnt see anything that would come close to this topic if I did miss it I am sorry...

I just had my surgery on the 16 of oct and have been having weird pains in random places such as hip, rump, back of the upper arm. It feels as if I am pulling a small section of the muscle off the bone or tearing of the muscle. Any one else having this type of issues and have you figured out how to fix it?

How much weight have you lost? People tend to forget that fat doesn't reside only subdermally, we've got Visceral fat as well. Visceral fat protects muscles, bone, tendons, etc. So when we lose a lot of weight, we lose Visceral fat as well, this tends to cause some "slack" around the areas of greater loss, this can lead to pain due to lose joints. Working the muscles groups around problematic joints can help tighten everything up, I had some pretty noticeable issues with my hips, and I found out I've got spinal arthritis, didn't know until the fat stopped protecting the nerves, I can feel it now though!

With your rump, does it only hurt when sitting on something hard? Don't forget that you are losing a lot of "padding".

Stretching and targeted work outs can help get everything back into place.

Hmm. I have been having horrible back pain since surgery. I think it has to do with the shifting of weight or something.

I am not sure how much weight I have lost since I am only on day 6 after surgery. I am just praying that it's not the start of shingles from all the stress of the operation. But you do give me another reason and that it could be a possibility of something else. Which is a relief!!
Thanks for a possible explanation!

I had surgery this 18th and over had back pain like a pulled muscle. I sorta chalked it up to the hospital bed and positions I tend to be in.

Maybe it's actually referred pain, from the operation sites?

You know I have such much chronic body pain I can't testify to whether I have more/less pain post- surgery. Anybody like my chronic arthritis? Selling it at a price even YOU can afford! Figure I can, cause I got it for FREE!😋

Frustr8 have you ever read Stephen King’s Needful Things?

Stehan King is a strange bird, re-read the basic plot where people go to Needful Things, purchase their hearts desire and lose their souls in the process. Don't see a correlation between myself and that. Why do you ask?

It’s a long time since I read it but it was interesting as sometimes a persons hearts desire was not simple, if I recall correctly one of the main characters was a good person but she had crippling arthritis in her hands. Your comment about selling yours brought the book to mind!

Yeah I think that character was Polly. My current 💖desire is to have my stoma stricture repaired so I can move on to a Better diet with more patience. But I promise never to ask Leland Gault for anything-- I would like to retain MY SOUL!

Reading over this thread, good one Incidently, is my excruciating pain, mid back to left of spine, due to Dr Noria's atempt to manipulate and stretch my stoma to an acceptable opening and hopefully remaining open size? Thought it might be from the contortions to receive an endoscopy, But IDK, with how our nerves sense things, is it impossible or maybe acceptable? I would ask if there is anyone who has experienced this or am I out in the wilderness crying💦 all by myself?

      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.
