Back And Neck Aches



Recommended Posts

Have any of you gotten back or neck aches since the surgery? Back ache is in the middle of back. I think this is a direct result of my posture and not adjusting it to account for loss of about 150 lb. I am looking for some suggestions because it is achy all the time. I am thinking about visiting a chiropractor soon to see if some adjustments will help.

I've had terrible back pain, from the second I woke up from surgery. In fact, my stomach didn't worry me at all because my back hurt so much. I'm now 2 weeks post op and it is sill giving me grief. I can't see a chiro for another week or so but I think you should definitely go to one. You may be standing slightly different to what your body is used to from the weightloss and the chiro will straighten you right out =)

I've also had middle back pain...at first thought it was because I wasn't drinking enough Water. But not sure what it is.....I'm 4 weeks post op. :/

I have the same problem. I'm 2 months post op and 46lbs down. A friend told me it's cause I don't have the core body strength anymore. Guess its time to hit the gym and start working out these muscles.

My back gets so bad it hurts to breathe. My doc is sending me to physical therapy. Hoping it helps.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
