I am 8 weeks post opp and my muscles in my back are killing me and I am a Chef and Im living on very strong pain killers to numb out the pain while at work.. I spoke to the Surgeon about this issue and he said it is normal because of the weight on my belly that is causing my back to pain because most of the fat on my back and hips have gone.. he said I should go to gym and do back exercises to strengthen my back...

I have the exact same back pain and im 5 weeks post surgery ...I'm a chef and its becoming a nightmare at work I am having to mask the pain with strong pain killers or I will almost have to site and work which is a no go...I spent 15 days Post surgery in hospital due to a massive in infection so I am thinking maybe this is the reason why my back is so sore...I hope you sort your back out as will I...
