I was banded April 15th. I have been having pain in the middle of my back, but I am not really sure that it has anything to do with the band. I just wanted to see if anyone else is having the same pain or if they know if it is connected either way. The pain is not severe by any means. My husband can rub his hand up and down my back and it goes away.

Yes I have it as well. I'm 6 wks post today. I still feel it when what I eat is slow to go thru the band.

I have it to. I had my surgery on April 16th. My back really hurts first thing when getting up in the morning & when I sit to long.

Huh, okay thanks guys! Really appreciate it. Is it just your body adjusting to the band? I can call and ask the doc tomorrow.

Still sounds like some trapped gas inside body cavity. Use your heating pad for 20-30 minutes on your back. I did prior to bedtime and it helped me relax as well. Take any pain meds too get a good nights rest.

Best wishes

Thanks!

For me it was the fact that I was constipated right after surgery. Once I got that solved the pain in middle if back went away.

I have the same issue now; what did U do to solve it?

Gas is the most often overlooked cause of back pain. After surgery I was lathering my back with ointment for what I thought was sore muscles to no avail until I tried a Gas-x strip and within 5 minutes the pain was gone.

I had quite a bit of back pain about 2 months after my surgery, turns out it was gall stones, not saying this is whAt you have but if pain persists maybe go have it checked??

I don't have a gallbladder 8) so hope not

I took a dose of milk if magnesium but you should check with your doctor. Some are strict in what they recommend.
