Hey there, I am two weeks post op and have been noticing some dull back pain basically right behind my stomach area, most noticeable when I am sitting up straight. Anyone else experienced this, is it related to vsg or just coincidental do you think?

It's not sharp pain, just dull.

I had a back ache until about 3 weeks out....at my 10 day post op appt. my dr said it is common.

Hang in there...every day will get better!!

Your stomach muscles are probably weak and making your back work harder for the support.

I am having the same problem, so I'm glad to see it wasn't something i did trying to roll over in bed or get up..etc.

same problem, in fact i think the back was more sore than the front, most of the aches an pains are gone now hang in there!

good to hear. I do have to add one new thing to the mix. took a nap and had chills as I was waking up from my nap. no fever though. Had this a couple of days after the surgery, too, and it went away, so I'm thinking just body adjustment, but....not sure.

Well, I can't speak for your general condition of course, but I was freezing sometimes in the early days (and sometimes now too). I'd be in warm clothes, under a blanket, with a heating pad. Still today I find, as do most, that I run cooler in general. I sometimes take a hot shower just to warm up and I am wearing an undershirt, shirt, and sweater most days. That would have suffocated me pre-surgery.

I dunno, its weird. I don't feel cold, I just got the chills, if that makes any sense. I have felt more cold in general since surgery, but not really THAT different. Well, it hasn't repeated, and nothing else weird, so I'm going to guess just weird body tricks!
