I had a banded plication turned into a gastric sleeve. Since then I've been experiencing at times spasm and pain in my back on my left side. I had imaging, spinal fusion and some epidural injections but nothing seems to really get rid of this pain. Was wondering if anyone has ever heard or experienced this and what can be done about this.

Meant to add there are long nerves that run from your lower back & your herniation maybe causing referred pain. Have you had a scan of your back recently to check for deterioration or nerves being affected.
It’s unlikely to be from your sleeve this far out from your surgery. Plus you said your doctor couldn’t find a medical cause related to your tummy.

I had gastric sleeve surgery about 4 years ago. I was wondering if anyone had back pain with the sleeve. Would this pain be due to the gastric sleeve pouch or disc herniations? They did an MRI and found some bulging discs. The back pain is very bad. Does anyone have any knowledge of this?

I had gastric sleeve surgery in 2016. I had an mri of my lower back, which showed 2 disc bulges. Could this be the reason for my back pain? Does the back pain have anything to do with the gastric sleeve?

I had gastric sleeve surgery and have really bad back pain at times. The back tics and spasms and the only thing that has realky worked was cortisone injections.. could the pain be due to the back or because of the gastric sleeve? Any other thoughts?

I know I've posted this many times before but,
I have ongoing pain in my back and my gastric sleeve. I had a lap band to gastric sleeve surgery. The pain is chronic and it causes some type of cramping. It can be very painful and is worse when I have to sit down. I also had MRI's done and found one herniated disk in my lumbar spine. Has anyone ever heard of this pain before? They said I should get Xrays done but I'm afraid of more tests. I was on muscle relaxers and ibuprofen but they don't really seem to do much.

I have really bad pain when I sit down. I had lap band to gastric sleeve surgery. I had many tests and X-rays done. When I sit down I am in really bad pain and I've tried many things to remedy or get rid of the pain. Has anyone on this forum or in any other place heard of this before? Can anyone help me with some help with dealing with this?

I get spine and stomach pains especially when I sit down. The pain is very intense and I was wondering if anyone in these forums has heard of this. I had many mris done and they found 2 disc bulges.. if anyone has heard of this please let me know..

the simple question is: are bulges related to pain or is the gastric sleeve related to this back pain?

I have really bad spine cramping and spasming to this day as a result of getting lap band to sleeve surgery.. I was wondering if anyone has heard of this pain. I have herniated discs and had a few cortisone shots but I’m still in pain at all times... has anyone heard of this before? Any advice?

I have gastric and back spasms since having gastric sleeve surgery 3 years ago. I have some questions for anyone who knows anything about this. I was told there were 3 bulging discs in the spine, although i'm in pain in the back everyday. it feels like a cramping in the back, and it can be very painful. has anyone heard of this? its hard for me to sit down, and cold ice packs work on this pain. its very frustrating.
