I am at 6cc in a 10cc BAND. Ii was banded in april of 2011. For the last 2 months I have experienced sever back pain a few days before the onset of my cycle. it goes away after my ccycle. i do have a back problem to begin with but this pain is different. has anyone else experienced this? Is this normal? I have never been a person to suffer during my menstrual cycle. any input will be helpful. i will check with my doc but i like to talk with others to hear about there experiences.

I am going through the same thing. I have never experienced pain before or during my cycle since I have had my daughter & she is 12yrs old now. I have had my cycle 2 times now since being banded & I promise you the back pain gets so excruciating a few days before my cycle up until the day of or one day after I come fully on. I don't know why this is but if u find out any answers, please let me know. I am not use to having bad periods but lately they really SUCK!!!

Oh my goodness! I got banded on 18th October, and have found my back pain far, far worse than ever before. I used to get mild - unpleasant back pain coming up to my menstrual cycle, but this time around it's started WAY earlier (pain started mid-cycle) and got absolutely awful for first few days of period. It was so bad I couldn't bend over.

If anyone has an explanation, please please let us know!
