I was sleeved on july 18th and have done great so far. Had my appointment with my doc on wed. and was down 15 lbs. Just wondering if anyone has been bothered with back pain? Everyday right in the middle of my back I've had pain.

That might be the CO2 used in the laparoscopic surgery working its way out of your system. You are only a little over a week post op and it can take up to 2 weeks to be eliminated by your body.

Yes, I too have been having pain in the middle of my back. I am almost one week post op. I hope you are right about the Co2 because I would like to go off the pain meds.

I am 6 weeks post op and I have crazy pain in my middle back for awhile now. My doc says its because of the fast weight loss and my body adjusting. He said it will get better as my body settles more while I loose more weight.
