I just had my lap band yesterday morning... Today my back hurts... Does anyone know why, also woke up with bad headache.

I had mine 13 days ago and had very bad chest, shoulder and collar bone pain. I developed back pain a couple days later, which I attributed to the fact that I could only sleep on my back, which I was not used to. I do know that before I was fully sedated I know I was being strapped to the table and tilted a little, so I think you are put in a sort of traction device to give the surgeon maximum room to work inside you. I hope you feel better soon

Thanks for sharing with me... Pain reliever didn't help. Gonna try walking and see if maybe its gas.

Hopefully it will be gone in a few days....

Walking definately helped me. The more I walked, the better I felt. Good luck!

I hope your back pain gets better,,Its probably gas I hope. If not seek pain medications from your doctor.

I just got banded yesterday.. i was so excited until the numbness and anesthia were off.

The pain is as if i were hit by a bus. They give some serious pain medication at hospital which worked up to3-4hours then pain came back double... I was then released went home only to find the pain increasing. i took the prsecribe hydrocodone but really didnt help.

Today my whole body from neck, shoulders, arms, of course belly and some weakness in legs.

I feel like a gutted fish.

And havent slept been pacing all night.

Is this common....
