Back pain



Recommended Posts

I had lap band about 6 months ago. For about two weeks I've had awful "full" feeling every time I eat. Now I'm getting a bad cramping/aching across top of my back. It seems to lessen up after I pass gas but it's more frequent. Anyone ever have this? It's terrible!

I've never seen anyone post something similar. But, you should call your doctor, doesn't sound right to me?

I'd get in to see the doctor ASAP -- gallbladder can present in the back. Hope you feel better soon!

I had pain starting. In my shoulder &upper back. Very severe pain. It would ease off and start back after I ate. After a few months the pain traveled to mid and finally my kidney area. I had an IVP down to rule our kidney and found a slipped band. I had several unfills and was unable to eat an eventually couldn't drink or lay down without waking up choking on saliva. My stomach had folded over the band. Emergency surgery was done Please go to dr asap

I occasionally get a very sharp upper back pain after eating, I have found it particularly difficult if I am driving or sitting. Here is what I discovered. I am very large busted and wear an underwire bra. Within 5 minutes of taking the bra off - the pain disappeared. I am thinking that the underwire dug into the stomach area and the band area - causing the pain. did this help?

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
