I'm two and a half weeks out and Im having awful lower back pain. Anyone else have this ?

I did not have that issue, but other people in here have. Most of them because you have to sleep in different position because of tender stomach. Make sure you getting up and moving around, not just lying/sitting around. I know it's hard early on with the discomfort, but its very important to the healing process. Good Luck.

Hello. I am 2 months post op. I had my surgery in November. I am still having terrible lower back pain. I am going to the doctor on Monday because it is starting to become unbearable and something is not right. I hopw you are feeling better. Have you found out what it is yet?

I'm having the same exact problem my back is killing me more than ever before. my doctor believes it's because my back is used to carrying a large frame but I think that my back should be feeling a lot better that it's not carry extra weight.

I have many back issues like artritis and degenerative disks and running in the army accelerated it and has left me with little cushion betwen some of my vertebrate. I have had increasing pain and its because my already weak back muscles are not adjusting as fast to carrying 40 less pounds. I have to do a lot of back strengthing at the gym to try to keep up. As well as alot of stretching of my hips whixh if tight can cause alot of lower baxk pain too. It would seem it would be happier with less weight but I can tell such a big difference in how I walk sit lay and carry myself so its not too surprising.

I have the same issue only worse now. I hope someone else knows how to resolve this.

I was suggested yoga and Water aerobics . I've yet to try them but the low impact might do the trick

That sounds great. I have been wanting to start in on some yoga this year. I have 1-2 yoga DVDs here at home, but never tried them before because of the extra weight. Now I am much more flexible and can do twisty things with my legs and arms. Lol!
